When I understand you correct, you would think tethereal is a different
UI component in Ethereal. As that is correct, I would "fear" that this
could end up that all bugs found in tethereal (even dissector ones) are
filed in this component. However, as tethereal is usually used by people
which are "knowing what they do", this might not become a big problem.

Well, if there's a way to *edit* this field, than this would be the
right thing. But it is currently not and I don't know if this can be
changed in bugzilla.
Having a drop-down list with *every* subversion might not be a good
idea, this list could become *very* long.

Ack. That might become too much noise ...

I would think, having a "Patch" option might be a good idea. This way,
we can handle the patches more efficiently than today, and just won't
forget them (which we sometimes do).
IMO the Documentation is a component of Ethereal and not a severity thing?!?
