Bug assignment in Launchpad is most commonly used to document that a team or person in Launchpad is planning on fixing the bug i.e. when the bug's status is "In Progress". Subsequently, for most packages you should not assign the bug to a person or team. There are some notable exceptions to this rule though.
The Ubuntu kernel team wants bugs that are Confirmed or Triaged assigned to the appropriate kernel team.
