This problem puzzled me at first, because adding of the assignee to
the nosy list is standard behaviour in any roundup tracker that
originates from the 'classic' tracker template.

It turns out that when the Schema was designed, the field that is
normally named 'assignedto' was renamed into 'assignee', but the
detector (nosyreaction.py) was not changed accordingly. 

This has now been fixed, so the assignee is now automatically added to
the nosy list. This does however not solve the whole problem - the
assignee will still not get any mail about his/her new issue unless
there is also a comment.

My proposed solution to this is to modify the busybody detector to
make it send mail to the nosy list whenever there's a change, even if
it's only a property change without message.

Comments on that?
