Correct, but the addressee can be expressed in an additional comment. Setting
NEEDINFO without a comment would be cryptic and not recommended anyway.

Sure, you'd need guidelines. In most Bugzillas I've been active in the rule was
to use a NEEDINFO status *only* against the reporter. If you wait for an answer
from the JS team, you could assign the report to the JS team.

Is the latter possible in the needinfo flag extension which is enabled on
bugzilla.mozilla.org? I don't think so, and I don't plan to work on extending
the functionality of that extension.
