Bug Description

One thing thats becoming instreasingly apparently working with MOTU is that it would be nice to assign bugs to both a team and a person.

E.g. mark a bug as "Assigned to Trent Lloyd"... "as a member of the MOTU team"
as while its a MOTU bug, and should be treated as such, i'd like to be able to assign it to me to keep track of bugs i plan to personally fix, but still be seen as overall motu bugs.

Another possible way of doing this is being able to assign a bug to more than 1 "person"

The assignee is the person who is going to fix a bug. If you want to get e-mail about all bug reports on a package, that's the job of package subscriptions, which aren't implemented yet.

Well, in that case, can we have some way of marking a bug as belonging to a team, separate to the assignee?

Perhaps, but I'm not sure what you mean by "belonging to". Do you mean "nobody should fix this bug unless they're in team X"?

Not so much, it's just usefull to be able to view the bugs assigned/related to motu, etc

The easiest way to solve this would be to implement a +assignedbugs page on a team that listed all bugs assigned to all members of team MOTU. Unfortunately you can't really say that these bugs are all relevant to MOTU (after all, the team members can be working on non-MOTU bugs) but I don't see how we could do this without some sort of data model change.

Trent, it looks to me like you could do this now with a "motu" tag. Would that work?

I'm marking this as Triaged since it's an interesting idea. I don't know what the right solution is, though.
