Description

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1976320#c5 . I had already identified that "I broke it" and explicitly asked other folks to come up with a verdict on the severity of the breakage - there wasn't really a point to bugbot needinfo'ing me.

Research direction

Start with the linked Bugzilla report, especially comment 5, to understand the regression-assignee scenario and the existing needinfo behavior. Trace the bugbot entry point that decides when to needinfo the regression assignee; done means it skips that request when the assignee recently touched the bug, acted after the regression was marked, or linked the regressing bug.
