We use discourse over at [http://komodoide.com](http://komodoide.com) and I often find myself wanting to “assign” someone to a support thread. Right now I often reply and simply mention them, but this is not ideal.

Ideally I’d like to use the “flag” functionality to give it a custom flag that I could create myself, eg. “needs support with frontend”. I could imagine this functionality being very useful for a variety of Discourse implementations.
