Anecdotally, there are a number of people asking to set the Assignee field. This is currently restricted to Committers in JIRA. I know the logic was to prevent people from Assigning a JIRA and then leaving it; it also matters a bit for questions of "credit".
Still I wonder if it's best to just let people go ahead and set it, as the lesser "evil". People can already do a lot like resolve JIRAs and set shepherd and critical priority and all that. I think the intent was to let "Developers" set this, but maybe due to an error, that's not how the current JIRA permission is implemented. I ask because I'm about to ping INFRA to update our scheme. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@spark.apache.org
