Dear Sir/Madam, Thanks for the feedback. Double check again, so if there's an issue which shows the "open" tag, I could just comment on it and show that I am researching it first. Then I can make the pull request regarding to this issue. Is that OK for pulling request to the issue which has not distributed or already assigning to somebody? Is it because I am not the "developer group" member or I am a newcomer so that I cannot see the "Assign to me" button on JIRA? How should I do to dig deeper in a community or a project? Could you please give me some instructions?
