I think developers who cannot process assigned tracker items should unassign themselves - I personally assign things for myself only if I know I can process them in the near future. I also think that people should not consider assigned items as "solved". If they had been assigned quite some time ago, people should indeed contribute if they can. > Another strategy would be for developers to take over maintenance of > certain parts of the code.

I don't really think this would work. I quite dislike the idea of somebody being "responsible" for some area of the code, being able to overrule his peers merely by his position - except for the BDFL, of course. Regards, Martin
