"Continue" would just be a way to navigate away from the notification.

I suppose it could just be a box displayed on top of the bug page, in
which case you're right, just an "undo" would be enough.

I still see some nuisance caused by the wrong assignee getting mail,
by them potentially being shown a private bug, and so on. But I can
see the downside of confirmation boxes too.
