In general there is nothing wrong with assigning a ticket to someone if you know that this would not cause negative reaction from assignee side. The thing is that community has a lot of members who knows each other in person and in close contact for years. So there is nothing wrong if I assign a ticket to my fellow. Especially if ticket is complex or critically important for the product. These is no "project management" in such an action.
On the other hand, we should not overuse this practice, and set specific assignee only if there is a string reason for this. All in all, remember that community is alive thing built of real people. The more rules you set without a clear reason, the more uncomfortable it is to be in such a community.
