Task assignee

Hi!
In the light of Bug 48 (Dropdown "Assignee" lists wrong persons [1]) I
started asking myself a few questions on how the "organizer" field
defined for tasks following the Kolab format should be used.
The problem: Horde allows you to select the "Assignee" ("Organizer")
of a task. This works fine in SQL mode but turns out to be problematic
with Kolab. The logic Horde uses to allow the selection of the
organizer is to generate a list of people having access to a task
list. Any of these can be selected as an "Assignee". Using Kolab as a
backend this works fine for all users with admin rights on a task
list. But of course you don't always hand out admin rights on a shared
task list. If read/write is enough then there is no reason to provide
more. But a user having only read/write access will not see the full
list of potential assignees.
I don't know how other clients handle the same situation. My
impression is that the Kolab format suggests using
"organizers"/"attendees" in a similar way as they are being used for
events. Here the organizer is always the event creator, cannot be
selected and the sharing of the event happens via iTip (e-mail). Is
this the intended mode for tasks as well?
Thanks for feedback!
Gunnar
