#5030: Stop auto-assigning Trac tickets based on the component

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Trac assigns new tickets to the component owner if no ticket owner is
 specified.  But in my understanding the ticket owner is the person who's
 supposed to work on a ticket.  This requires a commitment from the person.
 Auto-assigning a ticket is the wrong concept here.

 Should we remove component owners to stop auto-assigning tickets based on
 the component?

 The question is: how we can ensure that the right persons learn about new
 tickets.  Can we assume that current "component owners" know how to filter
 their tor-bugs email?

 (Cc'ing all component owners.)
