hot potato bug handling

[Graham Percival]

This is an old, but good, article on bug handling.  It just
occurred to me that maybe some people hadn't seen it before:

Money quote (as far as I'm concerned):
  A bug is like a hot potato: when it's assigned to you, you are
  responsible to resolve it, somehow, or assign it to someone else.

In case non-native-English-speakers are unfamiliar with that
reference, see here:
