Sorry, Steve, for this misunderstanding, but John really haven't 
promised to revert all ASSIGNed bugs back to NEW or something 
like that, he told he is leaning towards. Then he brought it to 
the Bug Zappers meeting, and was shut down with disagreement 
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Meetings/Minutes-2008-Oct-07).  
If you really need to distinguish between the bugs which triaged 
(and their future life is a responsibility of a package 
maintainer -- thus they are ASSIGNED as defined by FESCO 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow) and 
bugs which you actively work on, I would suggest using status 
ON_DEV -- it is still present in our bugzilla (for legacy 
reasons), but not used for anything, so you can freely use it.  
Going through 9078 ASSIGNED bugs and deciding whether they should 
be moved back to NEW or not, that's just too much work for the 
very very doubtful benefit.

Best,

Matěj
