No big deal.

I think Georg at this point is the only auto-assignment.

One thing to keep an eye on for old issues, Daniel, is the Stage field.
Setting that is nice for Bug Days as people can see what issues still need a
test written or could use a review, etc. I have a doc I am writing up at
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dg7fctr4_51cbt2vktw which outlines what the
various Stage values should mean. Feedback from you and anybody else is
welcome, although realize it is rough as I was not planning to make this
public quite yet.
