===============

In general, the Matplotlib project does not assign issues. Issues are
"assigned" or "claimed" by opening a PR; there is no other assignment
mechanism. If you have opened such a PR, please comment on the issue thread to
avoid duplication of work. Please check if there is an existing PR for the
issue you are addressing. If there is, try to work with the author by
submitting reviews of their code or commenting on the PR rather than opening
a new PR; duplicate PRs are subject to being closed. However, if the existing
PR is an outline, unlikely to work, or stalled, and the original author is
unresponsive, feel free to open a new PR referencing the old one.
In general, the Matplotlib project does not assign issues. You do not need to
ask whether you can work on an issue. Nevertheless, we encourage following these
guidelines to prevent duplicated work:

If there is an existing pull request (PR) for the issue, try to work with the PR
author by submitting reviews of their code or commenting on the PR rather than
opening a new PR; duplicate PRs may be closed. However, if the existing
PR has stalled, and the original author is unresponsive, feel free to open a new
PR referencing the old one.

If there is no existing PR and it's not obvious that somebody else is working on
the topic - either by recent discussion or explicit statement, you can start
working on it right away.

You may optionally leave a comment "I've started working on this"; please only do
this if you actually work on it, do not use this as reservation because you would
like to work on it tomorrow or later. Such a comment is not a formal reservation
or assignment. It's just a way to prevent duplicate work. If there's no follow-up
discussion or PR within a reasonable time (typically 2 days), we assume that the
interest has declined, and anybody is free to pick up the topic.
