Hi.
Our Bugzilla installation at <https://bugs.wikimedia.org/> currently
restricts the capabilities of new users as a knee-jerk response to prior
Bugzilla-related vandalism. There are further details at
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/40497>.
Increasingly new users are making manual requests to be assigned to bugs,
as they cannot edit others' bugs by default. This is problematic and
disruptive to development efforts.
My suggestion is to re-add the "editbugs" user right to new users by
default (revert the old settings adjustment). Otherwise, an acceptable
workaround needs to be found.
