Derek,

No, it probably doesn't matter for closed bugs.

The pseudo-users are just fake user ids. The mail is forwarded using the "User Watching" feature on https://bugzilla.gnucash.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email.

It occurs to me that as long as the pseudo-user is in the CC list and its mail prefs are set correctly the email watching will work and we can use the "assigned" value for its intended purpose. I'm not sure that the QA contact has an intended purpose for us.
