Hi,

Looks like none answers my following question:

>>So my question is: Is this rule really practical? Any success example 
>>for this rule?

Does it mean that all agree that the rule (Change "Assigned To" field from 
owner to reporter) is not practical?

Let's define 2 rules:

Rule 1: "NEEDINFO bugs should be assigned back to original bug reporter"
Rule 2: Don't change assignee for NEEDINFO bugs

As an example, we can choose all NEEDINFO bugs for ARM in current bugzilla. And 
I think most bugs use rule 2.
