Description MZMcBride 2014-02-27 04:44:45 UTC 
In this Bugzilla installation, many bugs read:

Assigned To: Nobody - You can work on this!

Where "Nobody - You can work on this!" is an e-mail address link to wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org. This seems pretty confusing. Wouldn't you naturally think that a "you can work on this!" link would tell you how to work on this(!)?

It may make sense to re-target or remove this link. Submitted for consideration.
Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2014-02-27 11:43:38 UTC 
Very valid point, yeah, but not sure how to implement this. 
There is a "take" link displayed for those who have editbugs.
Comment 2 Nemo 2014-02-27 12:10:48 UTC 
Is there anything that makes the address invalid and hence unlinked by bugzilla?
Comment 3 Andre Klapper 2014-03-06 15:47:07 UTC 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=802269 has some related discussion.
