Only people with push access can have issues assigned to them

[RByers]

It's annoying that users with push access are the only ones who can have issues assigned to them (eg. see isaacs/github#100). It would help me co-ordinate Google's work if I could assign issues to people (eg. @NavidZ, @mustaqahmed, @dtapuska) even though they won't be pushing changes directly. I propose we just make such people collaborators in the repo and just ask them to continue to rely on editors merging their PRs instead of pushing directly. @patrickhlauke @shepazu thoughts?

if it's an easy setting to change, i'd be all in favor to change it (having just had a similar issue in another group, where i first had to be made group member manually by an admin)

[shepazu]

Okay by me, though I confess I don't know how to do this. If you know
how and need me to do something, let me know what to do.

ah, i thought it was something that can be done with a setting, but it seems the only way here is to explicitly add folks as collaborators. so process would be for rick (and anybody else from other orgs/members) to feel free to suggest collaborators to be added, with the understanding that only editors will merge PRs (or give green light for user to merge their own PR). i guess @shepazu or mike cooper will have to be the ones actually adding these users as collaborators. i'd suggest - to avoid firing lots of tiny requests - we gather a list of people and then send one big request to them

[RByers]

@shepazu Yep, it's easy for anyone with pointerevents admin access. Just go to the collaborators setting and give these people (and probably also @teddink) write access.

[patrickhlauke]

has this been done? (not hassling @shepazu, just wondering if this can be closed, as i can't verify it)

[RByers]

No, it hasn't. You can verify by trying to assign an issue to @teddink, @NavidZ, etc.

[shepazu]

Done. Sorry for the delay.

[RByers]

Thanks @shepazu. I see @mustaqahmed now, but not @NavidZ, @teddink or @dtapuska. Are they all added?

[shepazu]

Yes, I added all of them, but I don't think all of them have yet accepted the invitation.

[RByers]

Ah of course, thanks.
