I'd mark them as TODO in that case, the rules could be:

   1. TODO and unassigned: dependency issues, no one in charge.
   2. TODO and assigned: dependency issues and someone showed interest.
   3. NEXT and unassigned: can be started, nobody interested.
   4. NEXT and assigned: someone is interested but can't work on it for personal
      issues.
   5. STARTED and assigned: someone is working on the task (no matter the time
      it takes)


That way we can ask people in case 4 how is it going, and if they would leave it
for someone else.
