So that's why suddenly I started receiving these email requests :D
No, you are getting suddenly these emails from a group of students at http://foss.amrita.ac.in because a mentor told them to do so. We have explained the right process to them (asking in the bug report itself instead of sending private emails).
This makes no sense to me. The issue is the extra step altogether.
--- Mentor practice: private e-mail users to assign bug, bug gets assigned, bugspam about bug being assigned
Your proposed practice: asking to be assigned on bug, bugspam about bug being commented on, bug gets assigned, bugspam about bug being assigned
Previous practice (pre-vandalism lockdown NEVER FORGET): bug gets assigned, bugspam about bug being assigned ---
I prefer the previous practice. Your proposal effectively just moves the mail from my main inbox to the Bugzilla folder. I suppose it's a slight improvement, but it misses the point that the overall workflow is broken.
