Excuse me ? I thought that the process of assignation was just so that each ticket is handled by the person most competent for the topic of the bug report or patch (and sometimes to ensure that no person gets overloaded with tickets).
If not, then what is the purpose of assigning tickets ?
so who is the most competent person for a certain ticket? and can we expect a submitter to know? (e.g. if they haven't read the book of rules in pd-dev)
for example, people tend to assign all sorts of tickets to hans, just because they are using pd-extended and hans is somewhat prominently responsible for this. it doesn't mean that he is the most competent person for fixing a problem with, e.g. mrpeach/net
« At commit time or later » instead sounds like the time for closing the ticket.
so the "or later" was meant as a backdoor in my argumentation to allow re-assignment of ill-assigned topics or assignment of non-assigned topics. "commit time" referred to the time where the ticket was initially opened (which might not have been clear either)
