## Code Contribution Guidelines
### Why we do not assign issues anyone?
- By not assigning issues upfront, anyone can feel welcome to contribute without feeling like the issue is already "taken."
- This also prevents discouraging new contributors who might feel locked out if issues are pre-assigned.
- Contributors are encouraged to pick issues that align with their skills and interests. To take initiative rather than waiting for permission or being "assigned" work.
- Sometimes contributors express interest but never follow through. If issues are assigned prematurely, others might avoid working on them, delaying progress.
- Leaving issues unassigned ensures that work can proceed without bottlenecks if someone goes inactive.
- Open issues encourage community discussion and brainstorming. Prematurely assigning an issue can stifle input from others who might have better ideas or solutions.
- As open-source work is often voluntary, and contributors' availability can change. Keeping issues unassigned allows anyone to step in if the original contributor becomes unavailable.
This also supports multiple contributors collaborating on larger or complex issues.
### I have not contributed to any open source project before. Will I get any guidance?
