With sufficient time and energy, it's all possible.  There's sufficient hooks to write the software.  But waiting for
the pull request to mark the bug as assigned is too late, imho.  I don't see it as at all unreasonable to ask people
that decide to work on a bug to assign it to themselves.  It only takes a couple button clicks and they'll already have
the bug open.
