Bug Description

Edge's Malone today got a fun new feature. It now decides to ask me every time I want to assign a bug to myself in a new context. I'm in ubuntu-dev, so it should be more sane. It also shouldn't require approval for *every single one of the >100000 possible Ubuntu contexts*. At least share them within source packages.

 William Grant does not currently have any assigned bugs in htdig in Ubuntu Feisty.
 William Grant does not currently have any assigned bugs in htdig in Ubuntu Edgy.
 William Grant does not currently have any assigned bugs in htdig in Ubuntu Dapper.

Um yeah, thanks. More clicks FTW!

This may not seem like a particularly big thing, but I do mostly security work (ie. 5 tasks for each bug), and when you already have a lot of page refreshes, another 5 is not fun. /me waits for mass bug editing.

email interface FTW! Can you workaround this?

This should be fixed before the rollout. Either we simply remove the confirmation step (I'm in favour of this), or we fix it so that we look in more than the current specific context (e.g. look across all of Ubuntu, instead of within a source package in a specific release).

FWIW, this bites archive administrators as well, see my comment in bug #138500.
