As Markus notes, using searchTasks on the person is the way to get this.

It's not there because there is no attribute on a person for assigned
bugs.  The list of assigned bugs is generated by a view, which really
just hooks around searchTasks the same as you have to do with the API.
 The API is hooked to our model code, not view code, which is why this
is left out.  To expose this in the API, you would need create such an
attribute for a person and then export it.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
