Re: jira ticket assignment
Based on Jason's the INFRA jira ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11950 ) , it looks like we can remove the blocker if desired - does anyone have any argument for keeping it? Or should we just jump to a vote? On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 4:59 PM, Jonathan Ellis wrote: > Sankalp had a thread about this last month.

Re: jira ticket assignment
Sankalp had a thread about this last month. He was going to look into our options.

jira ticket assignment
Hey all, Currently, when a new contributor wants to have a ticket assigned to themselves, they cannot due to JIRA permissions. The contributor (or someone on behalf of the contributor) usually needs to contact the dev-channel and ask for the magical permissions to be granted, and there's only a handful of folks who can grant that. Is anyone aware of why this restriction is in place, or feel strongly it should exist? I'd like to change the JIRA defaults and let anyone assign themselves to a ticket (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11950 for an example of another Apache project that has done this already). Thoughts? If no strong objections I'll set up a PMC vote within a day or two. Thanks, -Jason
