No, the question wasn't lost.  _You_ don't assign bugs.

If there are no maintainers, it may not get assigned.  If there is only one,
he may not bother assigning it.  If they're waiting for a fix that already
exists upstream, it probably wouldn't get assigned.  More importantly, one
would want to know if the bug status had ever been changed.
