Even if the visible problem is a less accurate Bugzilla hall of fame, the actual problem is that a big bunch of developers don't notify when they are taking a bug. This decreases transparency and increases the chances of duplicated work.
Setting the assignee field makes sense when working on something for a longer time so you don't duplicate work.
I don't see much advantage by setting an assignee for a quick fix (but it's easier now as you only need to click "take" below the "Assigned to" field and don't need to enter your email address manually anymore).
I consider Gerrit a way better place when it comes to creating statistics about bug *fixes* ("RESOLVED FIXED" in Bugzilla terms). Obviously I exclude any other Bugzilla resolutions here. :)
