This brings the problem of assignment. Some bugzillas I've worked with
have been configured to assign bugs automatically based on other fields
like project, component etc.

How about this? When a bug is created it is unasigned. Then the default
procedure for developers is to take unassigned bugs and assign to
themselves. If they want to "give" a bug to sombody else they add that
person as a watcher and write a request in the comments.
