Re: [platform-dev] [SWT] Bugzilla etiquette question

Whether you first
create the bug report and then reassign or whether you first assign to
you and then cc the default assignee is a personal choice (I prefer the
former, because I don't always know the default assignee, and I don't want
to add it manually). However, the default assignee should always be involved
because otherwise interested parties can't be informed about the new bug
report.

Usually what I do is create the bug with the default assignee 
(platform-swt-inbox), and then assign myself the bug immediately after
that. This way the maintainers/interested parties are aware of the work,
and also that I intend to work on it.

Sometimes if it's something trivial/obscure, then I'll just assign it to
myself directly to spare everyone the noise.

IMO it boils down to personal preference.
