Well, there's a reason - not every developer watches bugs closely. Thanks to great work by Antony, there's somebody who does that, but we can't realistically expect every maintainer to do that, so assigning bugs is the means to alert the developer that this bug is (at least potentially) in his domain. > 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? I think assignment is request to look - and if possible fix, if not - one should indicate he can't accept it. Of course, as we know, in theory practice follows theory, in practice it doesn't - so there are cases where bugs are assigned but not really looked at. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/
