Apparently the warning that comes out of failing to assign a bug to the user is more confusing than is helpful.
A contributor who hasn't yet to become a committer doesn't really know much about how WebKit Bugzilla works and a scary warning like this one misleads the contributor to think that he needs to ask for edit rights.
We should just get rid of this warning message.

I've met at least 3 new contributors who have complained about this problem.
