We can't do it though without redesigning the bug activity system - if a
product is renamed that has 1000 bugs, we would need to insert 1000 rows
into the database. If a distribution is renamed with 10,000 bugs we would
need to insert 10,000 rows into the database.

If you really want this (and I still personally don't see why product
changes would appear on the bug activity - it has nothing to do with the
bug, and doesn't affect the bug in the slightest), then we need to implement
product activity, distribution activity and distrorelease activity and
interleave the relevant activity logs in the UI. So renaming a product would
add one row to the DB, but the change would appear on all bugs targetted to
that product.
