I assume you mean something above and beyond:

?

At some point, I think it's OK for triagers to punt to the package
maintainers, as long as the selected component is a reasonable guess.
Sometimes it's not actually clear what the correct component is until
the code causing the bug is actually located.  (Though asking for review
through the mailing list does seem like a good idea.)

I definitely agree the wiki pages are not very well organized at the
moment.  I'll send some suggestions in a separate message.
