New bug, directly assigned, okay?
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? --Irmen

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.

Ah, okay.

Yep, that's what I've done. In my bug report (about codecs.readline) I referenced the two other bugs related to it (those were assigned to Walter). Thanks, Irmen.
