As new packages get added to Fedora Core and Fedora Extras, they are not always added to bugzilla. What is a "good" way to report these needed bugzilla updates?

They should be. If not choose "bugzilla" itself as a component and file them
A bit difficult ... "bugzilla" is not listed as a component under Fedora Extras. I could select "Bugzilla" as the product/category but the only more or less appropriate component looks like "inventory" and that is not used.
While something under Fedora Infrastructure may be appropriate in this case, there should be something more obvious and applicable to all products/categories handled by this instantiation of bugzilla.

Select Fedora Core -> Bugzilla

Generic FC bugs not classifed into any component should go against "distributions".

"bugzilla" as a component under "Fedora Core" does not exist!
It appears that this has been rfe'ed a couple of times but never done.

If you want to file a bug against the RH Bugzilla itself, use the Product "Bugzilla," instead of "Fedora Core." Do this if you are sure you have exhausted the current protocols for getting components listed in the "Fedora Extras" product. I thought the owners list in CVS might do this, but could be wrong.

It does. But it's still a manual process that the maintainers need to do when they import their packages. If people forget, then no bugzilla component gets created.

My point exactly, thank you for making it more clearly!

No, since is not a bug in bugzilla. For Fedora Fedora Extras there's the "general" component. Making noise on fedora-extras-list might help, too. ;)
There is a wiki page for this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/PackagesLackingBugzilla
Which reminds me, I need to figure out why my components aren't being added.
