I haven't followed all the discussion but it seems to me that

looks more consistent with common bugzilla process and usage.

Furthermore for "ASSIGNED to next actor" one has to keep 
copying'n'pasting the other person's address to reassign to them which 
can get pretty tedious for quick interchanges IMHO.  With NEEDINFO it is 
easy just to set "from Reporter" or "from Assignee" etc.
