I hope you two are not judging these requests based on my interpretation
of them only ;-)

I think things have changed since this request was written. You cannot
can create a project without also creating a first component and
version.

Okay. But then there are more fields, such as os_id, site_id, and
database_id, that would benefit from a many-to-many relation.

I read the RFE as to be about creating a new bug by cloning an old and
