define "working"

it is not too much "work" assign a bug of a owned package
to give a sign of life not at least to the submitter even
if we do not speak about any automatism

if you are working the whole month on a different component
and give no single feedback to a new reported bug you are
ending in frustrated submitters - if they get a "assigned"
they do not feel ignored

so such automatism does not enforce anything which
should not be mandatory for a package-owner to not
get frustrated users no longer submitting bugreports
because they feel ignored and wasted time do this
