I can make it so that issues can be assigned to non-contributors. Even if we don't do that, I believe jira permissions are all about constraining current actions, and are not enforced on existing ticketes.
However, the "contributor" role in jira has several other abilities associated with it. Right now, in the order they appear in jira: * edit an issue's due date * move issues (between project workflows or projects the user has create on) * assign issues to other people * resolve and reopen issues, assign a fix version (but not close them) * manage watchers on an issue * log work against an issue Any of these could also be changed to remove contributors or allow wider jira users. If assignable users can assign to themselves when they don't have the assign users permission, then the only one I think we use is "resolve and reopen issues." And I don't think I'd want that open to all jira users. Do we want to have to handle marking issues resolved for folks? It makes sense to me, since I usually do that once I push the commit.
