I'm not saying that we should hide the information. Today we do a terrible job at highlighting the triaging process. I'm just not convinced that overloading the assignee is the way to go here, though. Having a bug assigned to someone gives the message "this bug belong to the assignee, don't you touch it!". I don't think that's a good message, since we want to encourage people to help triaging the bugs. -- Björn Tillenius | https://launchpad.net/~bjornt _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
