Honestly, apart from statistical purposes, I don't see the point in
having closed issues assigned to somebody at all. Would all the people
who have moved on to m2 take up an old m1 issue if it gets reopened
today? What about people who have left the project? IMO it's the project
lead/maintainer who should decide what should happen with reopened issues.
I also don't like the idea of making it obligatory to assign an issue
for closing or setting a fix for version. If an issue gets opened with a
patch attached, but I don't have time to check it right away, I still
want to set the fix for so I won't forget it, but at the same time not
prevent somebody else to take it up and fix it before me.
The only use case I know is when I start working on an issue and I don't
want anybody else to waste some time on it. For m1, the chance of two
people working on the same issue is almost negligible now, that's why I
practically never assigned an issue to myself so far.

I agree. I don't want that we update all closed issues up until now, but
only that we take care to define the assignee from now.

As far as I'm concerned, setting the assignee to yourself when you close
it has been accepted practice for some time (but we don't need to go
back and change all the old ones).
That way, if it is reopened, the person that closed it can deal with it.

Hi guys,
I noticed that we have in maven projects (particularly in m1) a lot of
issues closed (2033) but without assignee (698).
I think that it is a good practice to assign the issue to the one who
closed it (even if it's a Won't fix or duplicated status).
It's easier to see who closed it (in an issues list for example). We
don't
have to open the issue to see the change history.
WDYT ?
