And to be clear, I'm not advocating turning off assignment entirely for all

marking as duplicate are.
Requiring people to ask is a barrier (especially when it's essentially

Why not make assigning bugs work sort of like FlaggedRevs -- as a new user,
you can make changes, but the changes won't take effect until they're
reviewed and approved? After a bureaucrat sees that you're behaving
responsibly, or after you've made a certain number of changes that have
been approved
