Actually I feel the real problem is that:
- people did not want to get bugs assigned to them (at least that was
what someone told me in the past)
- we're lacking a good notion of package or recipe ownership, so even
if we had someone acting as a bug manager, (s)he would have a hard
time to find out who to assign an issue to.

and of course it takes discipline to look at regular intervals in the
bug tracker to see if there are issues that affect the recipes you
feel responsible for.
A discipline that few people have and that is also easy to forget if
there is only very rarely something for you.

So it is more of a process issue.
(btw this may be something that could be picked up by the TSC).
