Comment 9 for bug 1346

If you assign a bug to someone else, they might want to fix it, or they might not. I think Accepted means the assignee has Accepted reponsibility for fixing the bug, hence the name.

If so, then (1) assigning a bug to yourself should automatically make it Accepted (why would you assign a bug to yourself if you had no intention of fixing it?), (2) assigning a bug to anyone else should automatically make it not Accepted, and (3) nobody should be able to set Accepted on a bug they don't own. If Accepted means anything else, none of these things are true, and this bug is invalid.
