Developers seeing bugs that they are able to fix helps the bugs get

exactly; this is what the change is solving; each source package (which
is the ultimate unit that has an owner,
and tends to map basically 1:1 to upstream git repos/etc) has now its
own component and owner.
(and with the option to now getting CC'd for specific packages etc etc).
Ways to solve the problem would be for the developer to search for
something else (bugs owned by [email protected] or whatever) or
using Bugzilla as it was intended, and assigning bugs to the developer
who can fix them - in which case, the developer will see the bugs he can
fix under "My bugs".
exactly what this is change is about; now that we have one component per
package, we can assign
real owners to these bugs rather than dummies who own whole areas that
actually have dozens of underneath-owners.
it's also triagers/qa getting the reporter to put all the needed info
there etc etc etc.....
A vital part of triage is getting a bug report under the eyes of someone
but only once you know where it is.... no point broadcasting all bugs to
all developers ;-)
so that is what this part of the change is about; that new bugs start in
a triage phase (not assigned yet to specific packages) and the triager
works with
the reporter to get sufficient information into the bug, and then to
assign it to the package where the bug most likely is
(which also changes the bug owner to the owner of that package, and adds
everyone on the package watch list to the bug etc)
