Btw, I have found out that Self-Partnering Bughouse CAN be played, on another platform! Interested people write to me for details (it's not on chess dot com).
Nothing wrong with this, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. There are already any number of new features/bug fixes that the powers that be will no doubt be looking at first when they decide to once again prioritize bughouse, which they haven't done for several years now, AFAIK.
Self-partnering bughouse: why not to introduce "Self-Partnering" for "Doubles (Bughouse)" too?
Please read my proposal for self-partnering bughouse, in the forum thread www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/adding-new-variants (2024-05-22). The exact URL is

(I know crazyhouse and like it, but it's a very different game -- with only one board and one clock.)
