I've read some bug reports online containing entries saying 
"Report forwarded" or "Information forwarded" after
both the initial bug report and any replies.
I thought this kind of entries are generated everytime
any mail is being sent by the bug system.

Reading www.debian.org/Bugs/db/23/23725.html I found
an initial entry "Information forwarded", but no additional
entry after the reassignment.

I thought: No entry --> No mail has been sent.


And I took a part of 
www.de.debian.org/Bugs/server-control.html
as a confirmation for my assumption:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
reassign bugnumber package 
     Records that bug #bugnumber is a bug in package. This can be used to set
     the package if the user forgot the pseudo-header, or to change an earlier
     assignment. No notifications are sent to anyone (other than the usual
     information in the processing transcript).
-------------------------------------------------------------------


If mail is sent to the maintainer on reassignments and 
just no entry stating this is generated for some reason 
then I am satisfied and will be quiet.  ;)


Greetings
      Florian
