What I have seen in a large development environment is a slight variation of our current Bugzilla workflow: After a bug is assigned to someone, it remains in state NEW, and it's up to the developer (or her manager) to ACCEPT that assignment. We wouldn't need new fields nor state in GCC Bugzilla, just slightly adjust the workflow. Gerald
