When an issue of a user is reassigned by the Out-Of-Office Assistant, you get a lozenge message in the Analytics column.

If you click on it, you see which issue, when and to whom it was reassigned.

It will also show errors when reassigns didn't work, e g. if the assignee is also out of office and has no coverer.
