I agree that this would be the proper behaviour. However, for me the
time it takes to tag those bugs is better spent if I simply fix a bug.
There was no evidence so far that the bugs would find some newcomer
who intends to work on these.
For sure I would welcome if somebody would take over the tagging.
Kind regards
Andreas.
