Using the issue tracker in sharepoint 2007, I want to know how to set a default user to the my assigned to column. Other column types include a 'default value' option, but for some reason the 'person or group' doesn't.
thanks.

This isn't supported out of the box, so you'll have to use a Custom Field Type. For an example see

Depending on how comfortable you are with SharePoint customization you can call this procedure either "very easy" (like they do) or completely overwhelming. If you run into any trouble, you know where to ask.
