I think that this is something that can be decided by each module maintainer. Personally, I'm happy to have testlib bugs auto-assigned to me so that I get an email for each new bug to prompt me to go and triage it. I prefer the email notification to having to poll Jira frequently. The volume of new bug reports in testlib is low enough that this works well for me. I also happen to be the default assignee of the Other component and getting those bugs auto-assigned to me prompts me via email to have a look and figure out which component the Other bugs really belong to. Unless I mark something as In Progress, I'm happy for anybody else to take it off my hands by assigning it to themselves. On the other hand, I can see that maintainers with a larger throughout of Jira tasks might prefer to default to Unassigned and poll Jira for high-priority items. Jira supports both options on a per-component basis, so we can be flexible.
