no, you track it automatically, because reporter is automatically mailed.
otherwise cc field is for this usage.

Sorry for the stupid question, but why is it bad to assign it to yourself? 
I could see myself adding an issue and assigning it tomyself just as a way 
of keeping track of it?

Is it worse than other things they can do? Users are evil...

More seriously, I took a look at the setting to restrict assignees, but
there are discussions on the trac tracker that say this functionality can 
cause a big slowdown. 

The way to do it is here:
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracTickets#Assign-toasDrop-DownList

We'll see what happen in trac 0.11.5, where supposedly some performance 
problems are solved.
