If you assign NEW bugs meeting criteria X to team Y, it is visible to everyone that team Y has chosen to be responsible to triage these bugs.

If you just provide views so that people in team Y can easily see NEW bugs meeting criteria X, it is not visible to other people. We have a blank assignee despite the fact there are actually people responsible for moving the bugtask forward. Why are we hiding this rather important information?
