No documentation that I know of.  This might help, though:  In our
bugzilla instance, there's a 'Fedora' product and a 'Fedora EPEL'
product.  You can have separate owners, cclists, etc per product.  We
take the owner from the "Fedora-devel" branch in the pkgdb and "Fedora
EPEL-5" branch for each of those products.

Bugzilla also has versions for each product.  So Fedora currently has
versions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and devel.  Versions cannot have
separate owners, cclists, etc.  So if you open a bug against a package
(component in bugzilla) it will get the same owner whether it's against
Fedora-2 or Fedora-devel.  This is also why I don't think bugzilla has
the ability to close bugs for old releases of Fedora (although, I'm not
a bugzilla guru so it could be possible.)
