can't assign issue to self

[Jonathan Wonders <jw...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I'm looking to pick up issue RYA-67 but cannot self-assign based on not
being in the contributors group.  There was a similar question on the
mailing list last year but the contributing page doesn't currently mention
this detail.  It would be helpful to newcomers if the instructions were
updated accordingly.  I'll create an issue for updating the documentation,
but in the meantime, would it be possible for someone to assign me the task
or add me to the contributors group?

Thanks,
--Jonathan

Getting the workflow change likely requires an INFRA ask. If it's 
something you all want to pursue, go for it.

Otherwise, we can make sure enough committers have karma to add new 
contributors and do it by hand (like this case).

The last message I saw on the mailing list involved manual addition of
users to the group.  From a newcomers perspective, this seems like an
acceptable process as long as how to request addition/assignment is
documented along with the contributing instructions.

I can assign the ticket but was this ever resolved?  I think the resolution last time was to add people to a Jira user set manually.
