I was actually going to comment on something similar in regards to the
mess we currently have in JIRA.  Our current policy is that a new bug
has no assignee, and requires no fix version.  This means that, as of
right now, there are 770 issues with no fix version, and 494 issues with
no assignee.  Many of these issues are also very badly out of date (eg:
1.0, or pre-1.0 tickets), or have no apparent version of Matterhorn
associated with them.

Obviously it's really really easy for a newly filed ticket to fly way
under everyone's radar, so we need to put some serious thought into
this.  Perhaps we need to identify product owner type people again, and
have them try and farm out tickets based on the component field?  This
sucks, but having people file tickets that never get looked at doesn't
work at all.  As is I'm not quite sure what to do with the current mess...
