I believe Jira admins do this on request. I suggest Mike e-mail Alex Blasche about that. > Also, Qt 3D tickets are auto-assigned to Sean Harmer who hasn't been > active in ~1.5 years [1].

I think the default assignee situation is mostly a case if "is anyone willing ?" with perhaps a side-order of whether the Maintainer of relevant code considers them suitable. So if Mike Krus is willing and we have no objection from a the Maintainer of Qt 3D, it'd be better to have the tickets assigned by default to someone willing and active. I see Sean is in fact listed [0] as one of the Maintainers of Qt 3D (alongside Laszlo Agocs, Svenn-Arne Dragly and Paul Lemire); if he is no longer active, it's perhaps time for someone to politely contact him and ask if he'd like to step down and, if so, in favour of whom. The coming virtual QtCS [1] has a session on the question of how we deal with Ghost Maintainers, so this may be an example to take up there.
