My reading is:

The rules are:

* A contributor may assign bugs to themselves
* A contributor MAY NOT assign bugs to a Linden without their consent

Speculation:

Rules for Lindens are unclear, but that's an internal matter between
them an LL. My guess is that Lindens can assign bugs to each other and
consent will be there pretty much all the time, although we won't see
them discuss it on the list.

Whether Lindens can assign bugs to residents is undefined as well. My
guess is that it may be allowed, but they probably won't do it, unless
at some point a contributor for example declares themselves and is
accepted as the maintainer of a part of the code (eg, if my avatar
scanner gets merged and I say I'm willing to do it, maybe they'll
start assigning its bugs to me)

It's not specified whether assigning a bug to another contributor is
allowed. My guess is that it also requires consent and there may be 
consequences if you do it without permission and the one you assigned
it to complains.
