If it's helpful to know, it says, "There are no permission bits set on 
your account."

Oh, okay.  Are there plenty of people with sufficient rights to assign 
someone to a bug, or is it just a relatively small number of people, 
like module owner and peers and hardly anyone else?

Basically, in a random crowd at #mozilla, is there just about guaranteed 
to be someone with sufficient rights for something like that?  Maybe it 
was gratuitously unnecessary for me to e-mail the module owner and peers 
in this case.

That's good to hear.  Hope I didn't unintentionally come across as 
FUD'ing about the control issue.  I was just curious.

Now back to working on the patch, which hopefully will go smoother than 
getting assigned to the bug ;)
