Dear all,
I've seen dozens of tickets in recent weeks being assigned to the group "Osmocom Developers". That group is a really large group of redmine users, quite a number of which don't even work on the GSM/cellular protocol part.
Assigning issues to that group has the result that they will show up in *every group members* "My issues" / "My page". And as those issues are not relevant to most people, they will increase the noise ration of important information in that default view.
So please think twice before you decide to assign an issue to that group. It should only be done if you think the issue actually deserves such a wide audience.
If you don't yet know who will handle a ticket, simply have no assignee.
Also, we (at least Holger, Sylvain, Neels and I) can easily create more groups for more specific teams, e.g. an "osmo-gsm-tester developers" group or the like.
Thanks for your attention.

Indeed having one group for osmo-gsm-tester would be a good idea.

Ah, so far I had understood your previous remarks (long time ago) that issues should never have an empty assignee so that we won't forget about them; the osmo-gsm-tester group is indeed a good solution. Thanks for adding it.
