I think the argument against that is that Maintainers should know what 
goes on in their modules.

Assigning new tasks "unassigned" will not notify the maintainer about 
issues in the modules that have come up, and the maintainer will not by 
notified when someone takes a task and starts working on it.

(/me has no strong feelings either way, just highlighting the different 
view points)
