OK, but then I don't see any difference to the current workflow. "owner != 
nobody" means "assigned to someone" and "assigned" means "accepted by the 
developer".

I thought what you were proposing was to differentiate between tickets that 
have been given to a developer and those that are confirmed by the developer 
to actually be her responsibility. Clearly currently we're misusing the 
"assigned" state as "being worked on"

Anyhow, I'm fine with the current workflow. The only thing I'd change, if 
that is possible, is to rename "assigned" to "being worked on" or something 
to that extend.
