Yes. The Webmasters do this pretty regularly for project moves and
such. I believe that we normal folks without god-like webmaster
powers can do bulk moves and such as well.

Wayne,
Is it possible for us to restructure bugzilla to create
appropriately named products with the desired components and map
the all old project/components to that new structure, including
migrating the bugzillas that reference them?

The standard that's evolved is that we have a classification for
the top level project and each project has it's own Bugzilla
Product (named after the project, e.g. "CDO"). Within the
Bugzilla Product, Bugzilla Components are used to separate
different functional areas within the project.
Even deeply-nested projects tend to have a Bugzilla Product.
e.g. technology.dash.woolsey manifests as Product "Woolsey" in
Bugzilla.

EMO/Webmaster,
The question to the webmaster/foundation is, how flexible can
"we" be in this reoganization to rename bugzilla products, to
change the components within those products, and to migrate
all the existing bugzillas to use those restructured products
and components? Should all product names be of the form
Modeling.<project-short-name> to make them globally
unique? Or is the <project-short-name> already globally
unique and hence that will suffice? That would be better. Of
course I'll provide all the details for the remapping, but
before I proceed with that tedious exercise, I'd like to know
what's possible (and supported by the foundation team) so I
can outline the proposal and review it with the PMC and all
the affected projects.
