As I said in another mail in this thread, we do not have a policy so that we can automatically assign regressions to the author of the patch which caused/exposed them. (Re)Assigning a bug without permission is considered unpolite by some people. Note that I do not agree. If Mark Mitchell agrees, we can setup a policy to do so. For many regressions present in Bugzilla, we already know which patch caused it (thanks mainly to Volker and Andrew), so assigning them in Bugzilla could be a good way to make this more visible. Right now, we usually just CC: the person that caused the regression notifying him/her. -- Giovanni Bajo
