At last, I've got it! OpenEJB uses Interactive Permissions scheme: This permissions model differs from the Standard Permissions model in that people in the Contributor role must interact with the dev list to get to get issues assigned to them and issues closed. This isn't a trust issue, more that there are a few benefits. 1. Active contributors hitting the list to begin and end work shows other people not yet active how to get involved. 2. Adds more "touch points" between Contributors and Committers. It should be possible to "see" the active contributors even if you are not watching the JIRA or SVN notifications. It's also hoped that the practice of announcing your intentions on the dev list will persist even when the Contributor becomes a Committer. 3. Gives Committers the opportunity to help, mentor or otherwise get the Contributor going in the right direction before a task is started; potentially resulting in fewer rejected patches, less waisted Contributor time, and more collaborative development. 4. Overall brings more communication to the dev list before all work is done and all decisions made giving more potential to collaboration. and Assign Issues and Assignable User are those who are assigned Committers or Contributors. Contributors are those who can be Assignable User only. You've got Contributors role so you are not allowed to assign issues to yourself. I'll have to do it myself (or other committer) until you've got your svn account set up. Ping dblevins. Let us know what issue you'd like to be working on and they'll be yours.
