Bugbot moves metabugs that have dependencies and priority/severity set (iow are perfectly triaged) filed by editbugs users to random other components #2525

This is tedious: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1880897#c1 .

Can we teach it not to do this? Don't know off-hand which are the best signals to avoid doing this but it seems to me there are several here.

We have two opposite forces here: on one hand, we want to avoid adding noise; on the other hand, we want to reduce the number of bugs that could be in a better component than Firefox::General. I guess the rule could be what you mentioned in the title of the issue (metabugs, priority/severity set, filed by "editbugs"), which are often spanning many components and so Firefox::General is more likely to be actually the best.
