Hi Igniters, Ignite is complex project and sometimes we know 1. who can solve the issue 2. and we would like that particular contributor would take an issue.
In the same time "in an open source community where everything is distributed, asynchronous and volunteer work we should leave the issues open to anyone until someone volunteers to work on it." It seems it is not prohibited by Apache to assign it directly, in the same time it is better for community grown to avoid it: "Assigning things to people seems the role of a project manager that has some sort of power over the managed team. Speaking from experience I do not take it nicely when someone that uses the project I am a volunteer at (which I might now know ) "assigns work" to me." Please find Apache mentors' comments on this: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/c6013b99940de32aae831a0b76e8fd53febe5040e9e0d67abb4f62a5@%3Cdev.community.apache.org%3E Please share you vision. Sincerely, Dmitriy Pavlov
