Admittedly I have been guilty of that as well. I often do this with
bugs in Apport and Jockey (which are basically "owned" by me), mostly
because assigning the bug to me will generate bug mail, while
unassigned ones don't.

Beyond sparing me a couple of seconds to throw away the bug mail later
I do not have a personal use case, though, and in general I do agree
that bugs which are "in progress", milestoned, or have an SRU task
should have an assignee.
