It is just a matter of policy and understanding.
For me if I were to get a bug assigned, I would interpreted it as:
"hey soneone found a bug and perhaps you are the right person to look
into it".
If it was not for me, or I cannot fix it, I'd just give it back (and
probably also if I don't have time or am not interested, however if
that last thing happens often, then maybe you should not be a
maintainer)
