   These sorts of requests seem both common and rehearsed. They almost never 
end with a PR. Can you please explain what's going on here? Is this part of 
some school project or curricula? Fully answering this question without evasion 
would be an excellent first step. Read

 if you'd like to know why I'm a little nervous about new submissions from 
people we haven't heard from before. 
   
   Generically (and we should probably add this to the readmes or 
CONTRIBUTING.md)
   
   1. You can work on anything you like. PRs may or may not be accepted.
   2. In Maven, issues are only assigned to committers, never to non-committers 
because that's needed for managing the release notes. That doesn't mean you 
can't work on it. 
   3. Issues are not locked, especially for first time contributors. If someone 
else wants to work on it, they can also send a PR. First one that's approved 
gets merged.
   4. Most issues in Maven (though probably not this one) are complex and 
require a deep understanding of both Maven and Java development. They are not 
usually suitable for junior developers or students, though again this one 
probably is straight-forward enough for someone to start with.
