Hey Kirk, I think this is a great idea. I do not see any reason why Contributors should not be able to assign issues to themselves, it would definitely help onboarding new contributors to the project without giving more permissions as necessary. No need to contact Infra for this change, I have Jira Admin permissions and can do the task. 🙂 I will work on this probably tomorrow.
