Revision two:

- Current packages [bug-wranglers@],
- Eclasses [bug-wranglers@],
- Hardened [hardened@],
- New packages [bug-wranglers@],
- Overlays [overlays@],
- Profiles [bug-wranglers@],
- SELinux [selinux@].

Major changes:

1. collapsed all category-like components into a single 'Current
packages' that is the default component for pretty much every bug
related to 'standard' configurations of Gentoo Linux -- making it easy
to choose the correct one and ensuring everything goes through
bug-wranglers;

2. split 'eclasses & profiles' into two separate categories -- mainly
intended for developer use;

3. left 'Hardened' and 'SELinux' (also the whole separate Gentoo/Alt
product) as the non-standard system configurations that desire staging
the bugs through respective teams,

4. left 'New packages' as-is, as category for requesting addition
of packages not yet in Gentoo,

5. added 'Overlays' component for bugs filed against packages
in third-party repositories (right now some of them got filed pretty
randomly, and having them in Infra->Overlays is kinda wrong),

6. removed 'Keywording & stabilization'. As pointed out, those can be
handled via keywords and we already do stabilizations in other places
(e.g. security bugs).

Your thoughts about this one?
