Contributing Docs - Issue Assignment

[justinsunho]

Nature of issue?

• Found a bug
• Existing feature enhancement
• New feature request

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• Developer Docs

Feature enhancement details:

The contribution docs mention to 'assign an issue to yourself'. That is not currently possible. New instructions should be written so that new, future collaborators know whether to ask @lmccart for issue assignment, for access to collaborate, or if there is a 'process' to do so.

Not sure if I missed instructions on this in the dev-docs or in past issues (tried my darndest to find anyone mention issue assignment), but either way, I believe it wouldn't hurt to have even clearer instructions especially for those who are newer to open source/ collaborating on p5.js

thanks @justinsunho I agree this could be much clearer. while the docs could use a general rewrite to make things as clear as possible, a small step in the meantime would be to replace the line that says "assign an issue to yourself" with "comment on the issue that you plan to work on it"

[justinsunho]

I'll assign this issue to myself then!
