Ah, whoops. I’m actually not sure if I can change people’s contributor status or change this policy (habryka might have some additional admin powers that I don’t have). But for now, if you’d like to start working on an issue, just comment on it, and then I’ll assign it to you (or maybe we’ll just make do without officially having assignees).
It doesn’t look like users can assign issues to themselves without being invited to be a contributor.
