Recent contributor..experiencing a bugzilla issue (can't mark myself as the assignee)

[Zach Easterbrook]

Hey there everyone, I've recently contributed to the project and want to do
more but unfortunately in my bugzilla interface I can't mark myself as the
assignee- I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. (haven't found an
answer on wikis / bugzilla guides)

This is what the issue looks like for me:
http://i.imgur.com/yxWJcZ6.pngsupposedly there should be a "take"
button next to "Nobody; OK to take and
work on it", but all clicking this does is try to mailto: nob...@mozilla.org
.

In my account preferences all it says is:
"You have the following permissions set on your account:
everyone Everyone with a bugzilla account"

Any ideas? I don't want to take bugs without assigning them to myself or
else someone else might also begin working on the same thing.

Regards,
-Zach

This is because you don't have the 'editbugs' bugzilla permission. Which
bug do you want to be assigned to?

Well, I don't have one in mind yet. Is there a way to get this permission
so I can set it myself when I do come across a bug I'd like to fix? I
already have level-1 access...I don't know if that matters.

When I take bugs should I just e-mail the submitter of the bug for now so
they can assign me to it?

Someone with the appropriate credentials can turn on the 'editbugs'
rights for you. I cc Gavin that is one of those people. In the meantime,
you can just comment in the bug to let people know you're working on it.

Looks like Josh Matthews already took care of this! Permissions have been granted.
