I would argue the reason this probably isn't already in place might be related to how users can't assign bugs themselves manually either. It typically requires the skills and understanding a bug wrangler has to identify that the bugs data is sufficient to actually have a clear understanding of who is actually responsible. Prematurely assigning bugs to ebuild owners based on the CPV in the subject thus risks bothering developers of projects that are unrelated to the problem because the person who reported the issue didn't understand what they were reporting. And so bug wranglers stand in between making sure that in the event a bug is reported with so low quality that the natural assignee could never solve it, that the natural assignee is not assigned until the bug is at least good enough to confirm the responsibility is warranted. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
