I would argue the reason this probably isn't already in place might be |
| 9 |
related to how users can't assign bugs themselves manually either. |

It typically requires the skills and understanding a bug wrangler has |
| 12 |
to identify that the bugs data is sufficient to actually have a clear |
| 13 |
understanding of who is actually responsible. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Prematurely assigning bugs to ebuild owners based on the CPV in the |
| 16 |
subject thus risks bothering developers of projects that are unrelated |
| 17 |
to the problem because the person who reported the issue didn't |
| 18 |
understand what they were reporting. |

And so bug wranglers stand in between making sure that in the event a |
| 21 |
bug is reported with so low quality that the natural assignee could |
| 22 |
never solve it, that the natural assignee is not assigned until the |
| 23 |
bug is at least good enough to confirm the responsibility is |
| 24 |
warranted. |
