Dear Marcin Cieślak, 

The bug tracker assignee field means "I'm working on this feature".

When you remove another person to put your name instead, it's like you enter in
a room, you remove the seat under someone, push this person aside, then site
back.

The correct behavior when a bug is assigned to someone is:

(i) check with the assignee if he's still working on the bug ("Taking this
bug." at 11:04 UTC would probably means yes)

(ii) if really you want to take over an issue, to avoid to duplicate the work
and play a race instead, you can politely ask to the current assignee where
he's on the bug resolution, and organize the relay if needed

(iii) alternatively, the community will frown a little less if offer a patch to
show your work

That will avoid what you're doing currently: telling someone "drop your code to
the trash bin, I've miiiine instead!"

I think with these tips, you will contribute to a nicer development community.
