Blocks and CC are routinely useful for developers reporting bugs, if you 
suspect a particular patch of introducing the bug or know a meta-bug it is 
a case of.  Perhaps move them to an "advanced users" section below the 
Commit button rather than removing altogether?

(Assigned To is less useful since it might encourage assigning a bug to 
someone who is not in fact working on it based on some hope that they 
should be working on it.)
