	We just keep bugs in NEW for that. There's no need for ASSIGNED
to mean "accepted"--it's obvious that the bug is accepted if it's
assigned to you and you didn't reassign it.

	That's also why we have "nobody" accounts on
bugzilla.mozilla.org--because *those* actually indicate nobody is
working on it, not some status.

	You know, we probably ought to just have a built-in mechanism
for "assigned to nobody" in Bugzilla, since we always seem to need it.
