Hi committers,
So far we’re allowing only committers (and some special contributors) the permission to
assign themselves and others (there’s no permission to only allow someone to assign
himself in JIRA!). We did this because we didn’t want people assigning issues to others.
However this is causing several problems:
* It would be nice that contributors working on a project in the xwiki github orgzanition
be able to assign themselves to issues for which they wish to send PRs
* For Contrib projects, since we allow anyone to become a committer there, it’s even more
important that contrib developers be able to assign themselves to issues
We could of course do this in an ad-hoc manner and wait for people to ask a committer on
IRC or on the mailing list to be given the permission. However this is painful for
everyone.
Thus I propose to reopen again the “Assign issues” permission in JIRA for the “XWiki Open”
permission scheme.
WDYT?
Thanks
