It seems like you have to be added as a "contributor" role before you can be assigned to an issue at the moment. I can't change this permission scheme myself. I think it might actually be a single permissions scheme across Apache projects, but I'm not sure about that.
In any case I added you as a "contributor" role on our project's JIRA, and assigned you the ticket. Also made a comment on the PR. Thanks!
