Um... I don't think that's what Sean had in mind.

True. We have to recognize that most contributors are volounteers and/or 
can be very busy on other stuff at times. I am in that boat as well, 
that's why I probably have more bugs untouched (in NEW state) than 
anyone else.

But if we require that bugs be set to ASSIGNED or something else as you 
and Sean were saying then we *do* require something fromall developers. 
I didn't bring up this idea in the first place, I just added an extra 
requirement on top of yours to reduce the user's frustration (quick 
analysis and ETA when you accept a bug).

Let's see how Sean sees things. He's the one who started this thread 
after all.
