I also would love if we cleared out the assignee setting entirely. There are loads of plugins were somebody else has taken up (great) but I still get assigned the issue.
I'd rather use assignee to track actually picking up the issue. Status to track triage state. Esp in credentials (which I have been repeatedly and actively scrubbing) use of assignee also helps identify when somebody starts working on the issue. Ideally the status would have a state to indicate that the JIRA has been accepted as a bug. Another status to indicate that it is ready to be worked on would be awesome We just need to clarify for everyone what those statuses mean (if they are not self evident) On Fri 20 Jan 2017 at 00:21, Mark Waite <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Jan 19, 2017 at 1:59 PM Ullrich Hafner <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I think this is not the common practice.
