Please bare in mind - I am asking on behalf of a decision maker where I work.

Basically they want it arranged so that once an issue has been assigned to someone (i.e. responsibility is laid down) that either that person sees it through to testing/releasing or if they are no longer going to work on it - it is assigned to someone else. BUT when you update an issue it *is* possible to change the assignment field to blank i.e. no-one is now 'responsible' for that issue. In reality i dont envisage this happening much but they dont trust the dev's that much (it would seem) I guess the concern is with it not appearing on anyones 'my faults' list it might fall off the radar...

Is this any clearer?
