So are you suggesting that only the "assigner" should set target ?
Only 1 issue over 19 targetted at 2.8.1 and still open have an assigner.

Whatever policy we end up defining, would there be a way for the software
to enforce it ? For example, a random ticket I looked at had TargetVersion
equal to AffectedVersion, which makes no sense (#12682)
