I'm not "taking over" but I made the following two changes:
# any user is now "assignable"
This seems rather non-dangerous as the persons who can actually assign
didn't change so it doesn't really give more permissions to anyone. I
guess the drawback is the auto-completion of our options will now show
a quite larger list of user ids to choose among; I hope this won't be
unpractical.
# the Reporter can assign issues
This implies one can create and self-assign. Unfortunately it also
means someone can create and assign to one of us. I hope this will be
more useful than what it will be abused.. let'see, we can change it
back in case of need.
Thanks,
Sanne

Look for the global groups developers and dev-team and their usage. I think
its things like the ability to close issues, re-open them, etc. Sorry, I am
swamped and dont have time to fully research. I looked quickly but Jira's
permissions are not easy to sift through imo
