This being the main question to respond to, I just wanna say that 
although the problem *never ever* happens to me, if a bug is ASSIGNED to 
me right now, I'm responsible. Period.

If however it would have been the real ASSIGNED status, it would merely 
indicate that someone else thinks it is my responsibility. The only 
responsibility I have at that point though is to either ACCEPT the bug, 
or ASSIGN it to whatever party I think is responsible.

Makes sense?

Kind regards,
