Looking into the problem further, there appears to be a correlation between
the field assign_to and Owner (but no owner field).
However, the system is clearly fragile; in the BR
#1776<https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/bugs/1776/>, i had in the old
interface assigned myself to the bug (as the comment
shows), and Pope tried to remove the assignment in 12-1-2013, but used my
public name instead of using my username; the result was that although in
the bug report, the Owner field is empty, im still assigned to the bug, as
the Tracker section of my account page shows (and a bug search for it as
well).

Unfortunately, it does not seem to have worked, as i see no way of changing
it (and i logged out and in to avoid any residual cookie permissions).
Another thing i noticed is that there does not seem to exist a way for one
to check the project level one is in (other than admin, which appears in
the main page of the project): the Projects tab of the Account page show
the projects im subscribed to, as well as the date i done so, but nothing
about levels, and the Profile page has only a box with the subscribed
projects.
