AFAIK, that's correct. It will append the mail to the bug report.

That's great! I didn't know about the existance of this script.
However, this still leaves the other task I mentioned:

Who reassings a bug if the fix takes to long?

And you brought up another aspect to consider:

Who takes care that all bugs are assigned to someone?

IMHO, we need some people who just take care of fixing bugs.
We have lot's of extremly talented developers, who
make excellent designs and implementations, but it
would be great if we had a couple of people who
just fixed some bugs and thus freed our talented
developers from this (mostly) busywork, so they
have more time to spend on designs.
