I would like to take this time to note and re-affirm the proper bug
assignment policy and have it noted somewhere officially in Gentoo Policy.

Bugs that are created for the purpose of getting arches to keyword or
stabilize a particular package should initially be assigned to the
herd/maintainer of said package with all requested arches being CCed.
Once all but the last arch has keyworded said package, it is acceptable
and proper for a bug wrangler and/or maintainer/herd to re-assign the
bug to the last remaining arch and they remove that arch from CC. They
should add their herd/maintainer to the CC of the bug.

Once the last remaining arch has completed the bug, it is up to them to
close it. They know it's up to them to close it since the bug is
assigned directly to them.

This helps keep bugzilla tidy and makes it easy to identify
stabilization/keywording requests which are a priority for that arch to
take care of.
