IMO nobody should be assigned to issue entries if he doesn't really wants to 
care about it in the next few days/weeks. Also if someone wants to trigger a 
specific person to a bug, he can add him as watcher. Can this field be 
initially emptied to an empty value for all core issues older than some 
weeks to prevent such responsibility issues in the future?

Also I just want to note that if would be very nice if we could require more 
specific test introductions for core bugs by default. Maybe as a required 
extra field or just a small text in the new issue form as a reminder? IMHO 
this can improve the review process and the evaluation of new bugs.

Just some ideas... :-)
