that they alone should fix it. There's a big difference between having<br>"started" an issue and intending to be the one to fix it. The first<br>means "don't touch it, I'm doing it" and the second means "don't worry<br>
about it unless you're keen, I'll get to it". A bug may also be<br>assigned to someone because another developer felt they were the<br>appropriate person to work on it.<br><br>I find it frankly irritating the google decides to auto-assign all<br>
issues to the creator (if they are developers) and there is no way to<br>change this default. Still it's not that hard to remember to change<br>the owner to empty if the issue is not merely a "todo" reminder for<br>
yourself.<br><br>Julian<br><br>On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 8:28 PM, John O'Keefe<br><<a href="mailto:wembley.instantiations@gmail.com">wembley.instantiations@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> Thanks for the explanation (and for gently explaining to this rookie that he<br>
