I updated the assign.py with suggestions from this thread, in 
particular:

* maintainer/herd elements in categories' metadata.xml are respected
* Anything that looks like a CAT/PN in the string is caught if it is
  either a valid CAT/PN or valid CAT
* Order in metadata.xml is what dictates assignee, i.e.: The first herd
  or maintainer listed in the metadata.xml of the first CAT or CAT/PN
  is who is assignee, all other follow as CC.

What are the next steps for this to go forward?
