Description

Idea for an enhancement. For bugs which are unassigned, we could send the reminder emails to either the watch user for the bug's Bugzilla component, or to suggested reviewers for the component, or both. The watch user is probably a better idea here. I don't want to annoy our reviewers.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing reminder-email flow and how Bugzilla component metadata is obtained. Compare component watch users with suggested reviewers, then define and verify recipient behavior for unassigned bugs; done means the selected recipients receive reminders without unnecessarily notifying reviewers.
