Ticket owner list should not depend on TICKET_MODIFY permission

[fewayne@…]

It's nice to be able to use restrict_owner in the [ticket] section of trac.ini to yield a select box (dropdown) for the "Assign to" field.

But the list contains everyone who has a profile and has TICKET_MODIFY privileges. It would be very, very nice to have a restrict_group option after it, which would allow me to define a group with a given privilege constellation (e.g. developers), and then only have their names appear as candidates.

With the option defaulting to TICKET_MODIFY. Sounds like a nice addition indeed.

Or even using that for going completely away from TICKET_MODIFY for restrict_owner (#4245).

See also #8672 and the concerns about groups.

#10456 was closed as a duplicate, and also asks for the possibility to have all users in the drop down list. This could be achieved by allowing a list of groups in the option, and setting it to "anonymous authenticated".

You mean #10456 ;-)

Refocusing.
