Well, first, the bug you filed really doesn't have anything to do with 
the migration overlay (because it's from the experimental overlay). That 
being said, I was working on keywording it around the time you filed it, 
and should be fixed.

As for why it got assigned to bug-wranglers... I think there's an issue 
with bugzilla where you can't switch between simple and expert modes for 
filing bug. I suspect that this happened with the upgrade a bit back, 
and you're stuck with whatever mode you were using at that time. The 
feature for assigning directly to someone (ie java@gentoo.org) is one of 
the features from expert, so this would explain why it didn't take effect.

So, I'll try to have a word with the bug wranglers to make sure these 
don't get resolved this way.
