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? -Brett

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). Regards, Martin

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?.

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.

Should I maintain bsddb tracking outside python one, to reduce your burden?.

No. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
