I did a little reading and here is what I found at 
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=24202&group_id=1

15 Issue Assignment

Tracker Technicians are responsible for processing submitted issues. Issues 
may be assigned to any project member designated as a Technician for that 
Tracker using the "Assigned To" pulldown menu on the Tracker item view.

Users are encouraged not to change the assignment of their Tracker items. 
Project teams are better equipped than their users to know who would be the 
best person to respond to a particular issue.

To change the assignment of a Tracker item, select the desired Technician 
in the "Assigned To" pulldown menu, then click on the "Submit Changes" 
button. Tracker Technicians and Admins may also change issue assignment 
using the Mass Update feature.

So it seems one has to be a Tracker Technicians (or an admin) to assign a 
tracker item to someone. Maybe all developers should be given this role?
