It's not a non-issue. When people see bugs assigned to a person, they're less likely to go ahead and take it. I think we need to find a middle path where: * Everyone is pro-active in reviewing bugs that are in their area, and not depending on a having bugs assigned before they work on them. * We don't have a ridiculous number of bugs assigned to people where they may not get to those bugs for weeks - when someone else might conceivably work on them, but be put off because they think "Oh, Random J. Programmer already has that." * We can assign bugs when it does make sense, without there being an absolute rule against assigning bugs to people when common sense dictates otherwise. * Can we stop talking about cookies unless somebody is going to send me a few? I like homemade chocolate chip. Mmmm. Cookies. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier j...@zonker.net Twitter: @jzb http://www.dissociatedpress.net/
