I don't see ANY reason bugs should be assigned by anybody other than the 
person who is ACTUALLY working on it?
*IF* someone has time or has found a fix for a problem, THEY assign the bug to 
them selves and put up the fix.
Someone else 'deciding' that so and so is going to fix such and such is simply 
not practical unless that person is also PAYING to have work done - which is 
not the case on PHP.
Requests for someone to LOOK at a particular bug could be made, but the 
decision on assignment should only be made by the person DOING the work?
