I think so.  The "www" product in our BZ instance is described as:

"Covers website infrastructure and mail list functionality, such as
IssueTracker, bad links, dysfunctional mail lists."

With Apache, some of this is owned by the project, other parts require
Infra assistance.  But from end-user perspective, it makes sense to
give them a clear entry point to report such issues.

I'd recommend BZ.  If you think something needs more attention, or is
urgent, then maybe a post to ooo-dev with a link to the BZ issue.

Would it make sense to just wipe out all of the auto-assignments and
ask for volunteers?  Having an auto-assignment that goes to someone
who is no longer involved in the project is not going to help us.
