Default assignee is the component owner indeed (usually the
product-maint gnome bugs 

The show_bug page will not actually select 'Reassign bug to default
assignee and QA contact of selected component' by default. When loading
the page it will check if the current owner is the default
assignee/owner. If that is the case this option will be enabled.

When the current owner/assignee is *not* the default one, the 'leave
assigned to xxx' will be selected.

Above is intended to easily allow someone to move bugs between products.
When a bug was assigned to a specific person, the bug will still be
assigned to that person. When a bug was not specifically assigned,
moving to another product should reassign to the owner of the new
product.

In a ASCII art table to make more clear:

                     | Is assigned to    | Is NOT assigned to |
                     | the default owner | the default owner  |
---------------------------------------------------------------
Will be reassigned   | YES               | NO                 |
on product change    |                   |                    |
---------------------------------------------------------------
Leave assigned to    | NO                | YES                |
xxx is selected      |                   |                    |
---------------------------------------------------------------
Reassign to def.owner| YES               | NO                 |
+QA is selected      |                   |                    |
---------------------------------------------------------------

If above table doesn't make sense, just reassign a bug to yourself and
visit the bug again. Then reassign the bug again to the default owner
and revisit the bug. Make sure to actually visit the bug again (and not
reload it in another tab), cause Mozilla remembers the selected form
options.


Also different from a normal Bugzilla, reassignments will *not* change
the status of a bug to NEW! This is on purpose.

Whoops. Added the reopen back. Have to check for further forgotten
status changes. Possibly forgotten others as well.
