I just added a new bug on SF (1175396) and because I think that it is related to other bugs that were assigned to Walter Doerwald, I assigned this new bug directly to Walter too.
Is that good practice or does someone else usually assign SF bugs to people?
I've certainly done that a few times myself - I figure that even if I get it wrong, the recipient will either pass it on to a more appropriate person, or simply revert it back to unassigned.
I usually try to put in a comment to say *why* I've assigned it the way I have, though. Picking an assignee at random should probably be discouraged, but if there is someone that makes sense, then I don't see a problem with asking them to look at it directly.
Cheers, Nick.
