Here I agree with Jorge and Johannes.

Move the Assign-Me button to the main page. Add an Unassign-Me button.
This should give us much of the benefits of the watchmark-feature.

As Johannes already stated, With the current implementation, if I want to find all the issues I'm watching, I can just query for the according user-attribute.
With a dedicated watchmark-feature we would have to enhance the search-engine, to support this feature. Remember, you described the search-engine as 'artwork' ;).

Just a new property of the User-Attribute to enforce good practices.

This sounds like a lot of work (and javascript) ;).
If you want to tackle it anyway, here an alternative solution:

How about rotating the user-matrix by 90 degrees and copying the functionality of the address-field of email-clients like GMail or MSOutlook?
Provide a text-input-field for each of the user attributes which is freely editable and contains all the currently assigned users separated by semicolon. The input-field performs autocompletion and maybe fuzzy-matching.

In my experience this is the most efficient way of assigning recipients to an email, so why shouldn't it be as efficient when assigning users to an issue.

> Remove the hardcoded Created-by-user
> ===================
Ok, this one was not on your list, but I think it fits right here:
My user are regularly annoyed by the fact, that the creator of an issue has no way to unsubscribe from the issue and stop receiving email-notifications for it.

How about the following change:
Disable the hardcoded notification of the creator.
When creating a new issue, always assign the creator with a configurable user-attribute, which is processed as usual.
