[squeak-dev] bugs.squeak.org: default owners of tickets

Mantis lets us configure default owners of tickets for various
subprojects. It's a bit.... out of date. (A "default owner" of a
subproject means that if you don't explicitly assign a ticket to
someone, this is the person to whom you implicitly assign the ticket.)

Any, Box-Admins both point to KenCausey, who must be tired of
receiving the occasional mail on these topics.

Here are our current mappings:
Any: KenCausey
Box-Admins: KenCausey
CI: FrankShearar
Documentation: casey
Games: asm
IRC: frankcag
Monticello: avi
News: gcorriga
Release Packaging: FrankShearar
SqueakMap: gokr
ToDo: RalphJohnson
Traits: dvf
www.squeak.org: KarlRamberg

I'm guessing they're so out of date because we tend not to use
bugs.squeak.org very much (sadly).

I'm happy to stay default owner on my subprojects, unless someone else
would like to take the can. But certainly there are some projects that
really ought to change owner.

Being the default owner doesn't imply that you have to fix the bugs!
It just means there's a clear point of contact: someone will
definitely see the bug report because it lands in their mailbox.

The traffic from being an owner is... minimal. As in "because almost
no one uses the bugtracker you'll likely never see a mail" :)
