I used the feature "Change Several Bugs at Once": - pressed "Check All" - near the bottom I selected "Reassign bugs to skasal" - and pressed "Save Changes" Bugzilla answered with a red message: Um, you apparently did not change anything on the selected bugs. I had to work around this: add a short comment. (If it is intentions to force user to add a comment, then the message is not very descriptive. But I do not think a comment should be required when maintainer changes.)
This should be fixed with the latest update as of today. Please reopen this bug if still failing. Dave
