When you reassign bugs, please cc the maintainer of the new package and
give a summary of any information they might need, or quote the original
report. We are not automatically sent a copy of your bug report.

FYI, setting the owner is rarely appropriate unless you are the owner (or
possibly their employer). It is meant to indicate "this person has taken
responsibility for dealing with this bug". Setting the package's maintainer
as the owner of a bug is somewhat redundant, because in the absence of
an owner, the normal assumption is that the maintainer (in this case a
team) is responsible for dealing with bugs.
