Comment 1 for bug 827178

So I have some questions about this that make me not sure how to triage it.

Do people really still assign people to bugs as a means of requesting input? I thought we fixed the bug tracker so you can only assign yourself unless you're the bug supervisor.

Also, I assumed practice would be to subscribe someone and ask a question directly. Is this not the case? If it is, how is this breaking down due to large numbers of bugs. I know I get my mail differently when directly subscribed. But I do recognize that I don't get the same volume of mail as Ubuntu devs.

I'm not disputing this is an issue for Ubuntu devs. Just wondering if we really need to change Launchpad or if subscriptions are enough and a cultural/process shift is required.
