While I do agree that many ITAs don't need any help, I personally often check them, as they are sometimes misused (unintentionally) by newcomers who just assign them to themselves and then vanish. Just one of a possible use cases of this feature. Since you can easily configure how-can-i-help to ignore those bugs (section 'IGNORE SELECTED TYPES OF OPPORTUNITIES' in manpage), I'd rather leave it as it is. Regards, T.
