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.
