What "component watching feature"? I'm not aware of any such feature and I
don't find any config parameters in our bugzilla instance that would seem
to be related to such a feature.

Note that we are running version 3.6.2 of bugzilla, with was released two
years ago. I believe we run that because it's the latest release available
for Debian stable (or maybe for Debian anything) and so that's been tested
by Debian and gone through security review and that gets any needed
security patches and all that. So if this component-watching feature is
something that's recent -- added after 3.6.2 -- then that would be why we
don't have it.
