It's not really open until someone actually works on it, is it?  Seems like
a semantic issue to me.  "New" means "its recorded and waiting for
activity", "open" means "its being worked on".  If its just assigned and no
activity, its not being worked on.  Seems a bit deceptive to preemptively
set it to "open" without actually working on it.

Anyway, philosophy aside, you could do this with a scrip.  Make it
condition: On owner change, Action: user definded, Template: blank.

Custom action prep code:
return 1;

Custom action cleanup code:
$self->TicketObj->_Set(Field => 'Status', Value => 'open', RecordTransaction
=> 0);
return 1;
