Hi, I created a new script that bugmasters can use to mass reassign bugs (bugzilla-newer/utils/mass-reassign-bugs.pl, for the curious). I used it to reassign gedit bugs from paolo to the new gedit-maint alias. Although I did a bunch of preliminary tests and believe it should work, please look for any problems and let me know.
For the curious wondering what this script does: In the past when we needed to reassign a huge number of bugs, we either used the mass change form (which would potentially send out thousands of spam emails), or use some ugly SQL on the server that didn't update the bug history and would sometimes (depending on who did it and whether they remembered to update lastdiffed -- I usually didn't) cause the changes to confusingly be merged with the next bugmail sent out for any bug. The script is meant to fix that and should do all the reassignments without email, still include the change in the history, and not cause the changes to become part of future bug change emails.
