Is it not enough just to re-assign such bugs to the contributor?  The
reason devs can resolve bugs is that they have write access to the tree
and thus can incorporate a fix.  If something is in an overlay,
presumably the contributor has write access to that overlay, and should
be the assignee of the bug.
