Actually you can have a ticket with an owner other than "nobody" and
the "new" status. This is the "assigned" state only without a name.
The only interest of a specific "assigned" status is if there s really
someone sorting the issues and assigning them. This person may want to
query "status=new" instead of "status=new and owner=nobody". I think
it adds not so really needed complexity.
