I believe this happens because Launchpad does not do a good job of explaining what bug terms (status, assignee, importance) mean. Then when you have a bug with lots of duplicates or users affected those people are trying to help but don't know how Launchpad works. This results in strange changes to statuses and assignees. I don't believe there was an malicious intent. -- Brian Murray Ubuntu Bug Master
