--- Comment #5 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-03-07 23:46:05 UTC --- That just renames the state, it doesn't help address the logical flaw, which is that the fact a bug is being worked on and the person working on it are not independent. Having an IN PROGRESS bug assigned to "noone" is no better than having an ASSIGNED bug assigned to "noone" - it still doesn't tell you who is doing the work in progress
