In my experience, the more people who are assigned to do something, the more those people assume that someone else did it and slack off. Of course, I've never worked on something as difficult to fix as an orbital satellite.
The infamous "it fell in-between the seat and the console" problem.
These happen constantly. It's always important to close the loop on these and make sure someone is assigned to it directly, not left to indirectly assume.
