I also think this is a great idea if we can do it. Thanks for bringing it up, 
Kirk!

Hey Kirk,

I think this is a great idea. I do not see any reason why Contributors
should not be able to assign issues to themselves, it would definitely help
onboarding new contributors to the project without giving more permissions
as necessary. No need to contact Infra for this change, I have Jira Admin
permissions and can do the task.  I will work on this probably tomorrow.

Jira Contributors vs Committers vs "Assign User"

[Kirk Lund]

Contributors have the "Assignable" permission, but are lacking "Assign
User" which despite the text description means that they cannot assign a
ticket to themselves. Basically Contributors cannot assign anything to
anyone.

Ideally, we want to add "Assign User" to Contributors rather than keep
adding everyone who comes along to the Committers group.

The Apache Geode PMC and admins do not have the necessary permissions to
edit the Roles. We can only add, assign and remove Users. If we want to
edit Contributors to add "Assign User" we'll need to have one of us contact
ASF Infra to request this change to our Project in Jira.

Otherwise we have to assign all newcomers to the Committers group instead
of Contributors.

Note: I haven't changed any Users or Roles in Jira (I just have time to
quickly post this message right now).
