[hibernate-dev] Relaxing JIRA assignment restrictions

[Sanne Grinovero]

Hi all,

I'm being frequently asked to add new contributors to "the right
groups" on JIRA just for the sake of being able to assign issues to
them.

I'm not sure why it's useful to prevent this for anyone to do being
able to do this, and also I suspect some people might be more inclined
to "just do it" if they had a clearer, more welcoming approach to
signal that they're looking into the issue themselves.

Any objections to relax this requirement?

Thanks,
Sanne
