You missed the smiley in my response.  But seriously, I do find the
interfaces that work well on smartphones to improve usability for
desktops/notebooks.

Back on the topic, I don't think a drop-down list of all modules is
workable even in browsers that display them as combo boxes.  How many
modules do we have in std lib?  About 100? Maybe more.  What if the
bug affects several modules?  What if the patch modifies several
modules?  Do we want to allow selection of multiple modules for the
given issue?  The components window is already hard to use if you want
to select say both Extension Modules and Windows.  This is with just
about 20 entries.   Imagine over 100 entries there.
