Dmitriy, I would agree with everything you are saying. There are some tickets, however, that cannot be done by just anyone and preferably have to be looked at by certain domain experts. In those cases only it would be OK to assign a ticket explicitly in my view. For all other cases we should allow the community pick up a ticket they want to work on.
