IIRC, that was the rule we adopted a while back with Rainer.  If a bug 
was assigned to someone (anyone can assign a bug to anyone else) and the 
status is NEW, then that bug is not being worked on no matter who is the 
assignee.

I don't see any need to reset those to the default account.  IMO that 
would only create unnecessary noise for no gain.  And I don't think it's 
appropriate to ask the assignee to endure that double pain (of going 
through those bugs that someone else has assigned to him or her).
