I'm a strong -1 to this. To me assigned means "I'm aware of this issue
and am actively working on it". Auto assigning really has no meaning
and loses this ability to tell if working on an issue is potentially
duplicating developer effort.

(I also personally hate it when people assign tickets to me without
first asking or without it being a direct result of a bug I've
introduced. I find it extremely rude when a total stranger assigns a
feature request to me - much akin to grabbing someone random on the
street and saying, "hey, do this work for me!")
