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...

I think the bug here is that it is possible to remove the assignee
without moving back the status to something else (NEW or something,
depending on your workflow)

No bugs should be in the ASSIGNED state without someone on the
"Assigned to" field
