I guess the downside to assigning JIRA's to non-committers is that who knows whether the person asking to have the JIRA assigned to him/her is someone who will actually resolve it, or someone who thinks that they would like to and then it doesn't happen. Thoughts?
There're several non-committers with assigned issues to them so it's worked pretty well so for. Of course, there's some risk that a non-committer would leave an issue assigned without being able to spend some time working on it, but it hasn't happened yet. We trust our community and haven't introduced any procedures to work it out other than helping out and assiging the issue to one of us committers with a note it's worked on and after a period of a sustained contribution the non-committer is included in geronimo-noncommitters group to be able to assign issues to hirself. Just say hello and let us know you're looking into an issue and we'll take greater care to not re-assign it to us, committers. Comment the issue you're at that it's already occupied, too.
