What has your experience been taking bugs from others to work and fix 
them?  All I can say is that my running experience is that collisions 
happen less than once a decade.  If you are worried about it, take the 
bug a week before you start working on it.  I'm assuming that bugzilla 
emails the assigned on state change.

If it became a problem, we can always have a state, actively working on 
this, or people could annotate the bug report that it is being worked 
on, or just send the person email asking if they are working on it.

In the olden days, PRMS was used for bug activity and used emacs to 
edit bug reports, and the emacs locking mechanism was enough to alert 
to the fact someone was editing the bug report.  If everyone changed 
but didn't save the report when they start on the bug, then one winds 
up with a nice light weight mechanism that solves the problem.
