Alternatively, we could also change the bug "owner". Quoting from the
documentation, "The owner of a bug claims responsibility for fixing
it." [1]

In the context of Guix, teams would have to make sure they are not
offended when unrelated parties set or modify the bug owner. An
assignment to someone else can come across as patronizing—especially
in a ping-pong type situation—but I think that Guix contributors as a
whole have a collective morale that is strong enough to discount any
perceived slights.

With a monorepo, it's all kind of left-pocket/right-pocket, anyway.

Kind regards
Felix
