Exactly. Imagine, if you will, a world in which people at apache are the ones assigned to fix the problems found and reported on bugzilla/apache.
Ssh--don't tell anyone, but the list of bugs over at Mozilla has (gasp!) mozilla people assigned to them!
The list you are looking at does not reference those people who are looking for the bugs--only those who are fixing the bugs.
Do you now understand what "Assignee" means?
So the guy from Haliburton yesterday was assigned to fix his "web server crashing" problem? Laughable.
