I just trying to open a new bug in bssdb module and assign it to me :-). Seems I have no permissions to do that :-).
The issue is http://bugs.python.org/issue1976

We have not worked out any policy on this, but I always assumed we would only assign issues to people with commit privileges. I quick check suggests that you don't have them, Jesus. We can give you the rights to modify issues and set the assignment, but I don't know if you should be able to be assigned a bug yet.
What do other people think?

Given that everyone is free to work on whichever issues are of interest to them (and post comments to the relevant tracker items), I've always seen the assignment field as a way to request that a specific committer either fix the problem themselves, or review a proposed solution and either suggest improvements or check it in.
I think you're right that there isn't really an official policy written down anywhere though - PEP 3 doesn't go into that kind of detail.
Cheers, Nick.

That has exactly been the policy that I have been executing, yes.
As for giving additional rights on a per-user basis - that's tricky to implement. We have the User and Developer roles in the tracker, and you get additional rights only with additional roles, normally.
I also agree with Nick as to what the purpose of assignments is. To indicate that you are working on a specific issue, a message saying so is enough (which could also include estimated completion dates, which a mere self-assignment can't).

So, in the concrete case of http://bugs.python.org/issue1976 , patch available, what the next step would be?. Must I contact Greg (previous bsddb maintainer, with python commit access) to review, apply patch (more coming, so no hurry) and tracker update?.
Should I maintain bsddb tracking outside python one, to reduce your burden?.

Yes, that's the typical approach. After a while, if your patches are generally good, Greg will trust you and stop reviewing your code in detail; eventually he will recommend you be granted commit privileges.

No.
