this emerged in a meeting yesterday to ensure that a ticket is seen by<br>
someone who is dealing with a particular area of code. we can easily add<br>
to the tooltip that this has not to be meant as any sort of engagement.<br>
an assigned ticket can always be reassigned to none.<br>
what we would like to prevent is tickets being opened without nobody<br>
noticing it. the assignee could be a developer, or also a ticket manager<br>
that can check it and suggest solutions. early refusal of invalid<br>
tickets will greatly help keeping the queue clean.<br>
we also would like to have people "adopting" a category, in order to<br>
spread the workload of cleaning up.<br>
of course better suggestions are always welcome.<br>

totally agreed - I in fact asked to remove the assignee field, but it<br>
turned out that someone use it to suggest people to open a ticket and<br>
assing to him/her.<br>
<br>
All the best.<br>
