nobody at fedoraproject.org Assignment and Querying

I have created nobody at fedoraproject.org Bugzilla account.  This will be 
the new default assignee for Extras package reviews.  It is a little 
more appropriate and informative than bugzilla-sink at leemhuis.info.

Nobody's working on this, feel free to take it <nobody at mozilla.org>

I got the idea from Mozilla's Bugzilla.  It makes it more obvious from 
reading that nothing will happen with a bug unless somebody takes it.

Bugs against orphan packages should be reassigned here too, as well as 
anything that cannot be fixed by the primary assignee.  While it would 
be bad to overuse it, I think it is more honest than bugs sitting 
forever and the assignee having the inability to work on it.

The idea is that a standard URL "canned query" can be used to pull up 
all issues that nobody is working on.  Then other project participants 
can easily find issues that are otherwise stuck and explicitly claim 
them.  This is just a temporary URL, we should make a permanent URL 
somewhere in the Fedora Infrastructure.

If something truly bad remains assigned to nobody, and no one wishes to 
claim it, then these cases are to be identified and escalated to FPB, 
where priority assessment and assignment can happen.
