The problem is that anywhere from 2 to 22 people can work on a ticket  
throughout it's lifetime, and it's not a "think about who owns it kind  
of thing".  It's just "in the queue, answer it next" methodology for  
most tickets.

So a person will click to open a ticket, then click to reply... then  
realize they need to take ownership to resolve it and have to back  
out, steal the ticket and then reply.

Because this topic matters to me a lot, if you'd be willing to toss  
out requirements for the patch I might be able to take it on next  
week, after I do the long-delayed mail headers rewrite.
