In order to get somewhere with this discussion, it would be useful to know the current practice of other free software projects, using Bugzilla or not. As a newcomer, can I assign bugs to myself in GNOME, KDE, Ubuntu, Debian... etc?
In case any projects which use Bugzilla allow this: I just learned it's a bad idea [1]. The assignee of a bug report who is not member of the "editbugs" group defacto has "editbugs" permissions for that specific bug report. So you could mass-assign bug reports to you in order to bypass your missing editbugs permissions.
