I'm in the process of working through "unassigned" bug issues. At the
least, I investigate and respond with questions. At best, I fix
something. Either way, in most cases I assign the issue to myself.
Currently, there are 44 open Bug issues with Affects Version >=
3.0.Final that aren't assigned to me:
I will keep working on them with the ultimate goal of eliminating them.
For the ones where I pose a question and put them into "waiting" mode, I
think I'll impose a timeout of maybe a couple of months, and close them
if there's no response.
In the future, I propose that we make the Default Assignee "Unassigned",
which removes any possible ambiguity.
