[Python-Dev] Notification of assignment in new tracker

["Martin v. Löwis"]

Erik just fixed the tracker so that the Assigned-to person
gets email for any message added to an issue.

However, *no* email is sent if one merely changes the
Assigned-to field. Sending a message for every status change
would cause significant amounts of spam, so mere status
changes are performed "silently".

So if you assign an issue to somebody but yourself, you
should leave a message also so that this person actually
learns about the assignment. Doing so is probably a good
idea, anyway, as you should explain why you did this
assignment.

Regards,
Martin
