Here is part 3 again: 3. "B" commits the change and fixes the issue. Now "B" wants to close the issue, a. Is it a requirement by JIRA or OpenEJB that "B" has to assign the issue to himself first before closing it ? b. If not, then what is the value behind "B" (or somebody else) assigning an issue to "B" and then closing it (I think I have seen something similar being done in past when I used to contribute a patch, a committer would first assign the issue to me, commit and close the issue)
I typically assign the issue to whomever did or is doing the work so they get proper credit/praise.
That's typically going to be me or a contributor who can't yet commit/ close. Rare occasion I close an issue someone else worked on and forget to close -- which is sometimes also me :)
When closing umbrella/parent issues with lot's of little sub issues, I sometimes leave them unassigned as typically it was so much of a group effort there's no need to give "overall" credit.
