Assign field on JIRA

Just to clarify: I was under the impression that the Assign field was
for the person who *wrote* the patch. Is that the case? If it is, is
there a reason some people can't be assigned to?

I misspoke.  Looking more closely at the permissions, folks with the 
committer role can administer the project already.  So the administrator 
role should not be required.

Ah, good, thanks. Is there a reason all our committers shouldn't also
be Administrators on JIRA? Is this because we didn't add everyone as
we should have, or we limited the group on purpose?

Folks have to have the Jira "Contributor" or "Committer" role before 
they can be assigned issues.  The best practice is, as soon as you see 
someone attach their first patch, to make them a contributor in Jira and 
assign the issue to them.

Only Jira project administrators can change project roles.  The Jira 
administrators for Thrift are David Reiss, Kevin Clark, Mark Slee and 
myself.  If you like, you can make more committers into administrators 
to better spread this duty around.
