When the [NEW] tag as added, it was explicitly asked for to have it in
the subject, to make it easier to see when scanning your inbox. You
could file a bug about this, but it's not likely to get fixed anytime
soon. Changing [NEW] to something else would be doable, but not
something we're going to do because one person complains. No matter what
we use, people will argue for that something else should be used.

This I can agree on.

Right, this is not something we want to change. People often assign bugs
to me without discussing it with me first, and I think that's perfectly
reasonably. Not getting the bug context when someone assigns something
to me would mean more work for me.

If it's all of above, this bug report is not likely to get fixed. Please
keep the bug reports as focused as possible. Of the things you listed,
only 2. is likely to get fixed.
