Doesn't this happen only if the user doesn't have the "editbugs" privilege?
See here, for example:

http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.2/en/html/userpreferences.html#permissionsettings

Also see this webkit-dev thread:

https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2009-December/010980.html

Again, I think it has more to do with the "editbugs" privilege rather than
being a committer.  (I'm not sure if we're automatically granting committers
bugs.webkit.org privileges.)  Also, will the user see this message?  If not, is
there a way to display a message to the user so the user can know to take
corrective action?  Such a message should probably include instructions on
how to ask for the "editbugs" privilege.  See the webkit-dev thread above
for details.  The message should probably also include the assignee name
that was attempted.
