Hi,

We are currently working on getting rid of the git repo at fedora-scm-requests [1] which is nowadays only used to store the overrides of the default assignee in bugzilla (for example to allow different default assignee for Fedora and EPEL).

I am working on porting this mechanism to dist-git itself (much like we did for the anitya integration a few weeks ago).

 We are thinking on providing a simple text field to submit FAS username or email to override the default assignee, the big question is then, who should be allowed to update this field ?

Should the main admin be able to set someone else as assignee ?

If there is already an override assignee, who should be allowed to change that ?

If there's no override assignee set, can everyone become it or is that up to the main admin of the component to decide and set ? 

I'd appreciate your input

Thanks, Karsten
