I don't think setting it automatically just based on the maintainer
having opened the bug at some point is a good idea. We could allow its
use for that purpose manually, though, sure. With my developer hat on I
probably wouldn't ever use it myself (it doesn't tell me anything
useful), but others have different attitudes of course :)
