All,

Please remember to assign a bug to yourself before embarking on any 
serious progress toward it. Several times this past week I've found 
other people working on the same bugs as me, because people are 
forgetting to update or check bug status/assignee. Duplicating effort is 
of course frustrating and a waste of time.

+1 ....and it's ok to assign and unassign if things change, and to even put
a comment in a bug with any of your new discoveries :) scnr

Yeah quite often bugs are assigned to people for long periods of time 
while no work has begun. Then if you're sure no fix is immanent it's 
safe to change the assignee. That happens all the time throughout Launchpad.
