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.
