+Waiting one month to find out whether a bug was assigned correctly is 
+too long, in my opinion, unless the assignee is busy gathering enough 
+information to be able to tell.
+
+I think we should ping bug reports for which we haven't got a 
+confirmation that the assignment was correct after two weeks, except 
+when the assignee shows activity in the report.
+
+If the assignee thinks the bug was assigned correctly, he can put OK on 
+the whiteboard or set status to ASSIGNED, and he won't show up in this 
+search again, so he won't be pinged for this reason again.
