I'd say we should reset the default assignee to wranglers. This is once
again a relict of treating games special for no good reason. Comparing
the two approaches:

- worst case with bug-wranglers@ is that wranglers have extra work of
  reassigning to games@,

- worst case with games@ is that a number of bugs never gets assigned
  to correct maintainers (and possibly solved).
