The old semantics of ASSIGNED before the triage process was that the package maintainer looked at the bug, and agreed that he will be (or already is) working on it.
It would be nice if there's a sign that the package maintainer had a look at the bug at all, like VIEWED or whatever. Maybe automatically set. Would give the reporter and triager a better feeling.
Then we could use the ASSIGNED state for this meaning if triaged bugs were marked with the triaged keyword.
I don't think setting it automatically just based on the maintainer having opened the bug at some point is a good idea. We could allow its use for that purpose manually, though, sure. With my developer hat on I probably wouldn't ever use it myself (it doesn't tell me anything useful), but others have different attitudes of course :)
