I don't think you should assign a bug to yourself if you are not working on fixing it. IMO you should try to move it along to the Triaged state as efficiently as possible and bugs should be assigned to the developer or dev team who is going to fix it. I realise that this thinking does not match current triaging policy but IMO that policy should be changed. Too many bugs are being held up in half-triaged states. Important bugs are sometimes not getting the attention they should while less important ones are cluttering up the field. FWIW, I'm not a developer myself, I'm simply looking at ways of making the triage process more structured and efficient.
