And the conform/ tests which I volunteered to maintain don't have a 
Bugzilla component (nor do they need one - I think there are zero open 
bugs for them).  So, yes, maintainers and reviewers make sense in areas 
not directly corresponding to Bugzilla components (but if significant 
parts of the catch-all "libc" component can be clearly distinguished from 
the rest, it's possible more Bugzilla components should be added 
accordingly - though we added a few components a while back for some such 
areas).
