Since I use my spare time to contribute, I think it would be better for some other experts to work on this so that we don't have to wait too long. I'm applying for an `Author` role and hope then I could continue contributing. Many thanks for your kindness again! :D

Thanks, @JesperIRL. The guide is good and thoughtful. But it seems that nowadays the paradigm has slightly changed 
— developers create issues in JBS, and someone picks up an issue and creates a PR in GitHub. Most of the communications happen in GitHub comments.

It would be better to emphasize that before working on an issue, you should make sure that it is assigned to you, or should mention in JBS or mailing list that you are working on it.

BTW, maybe for an unassigned issue, we could create a PR directly? Since we can communicate in the GitHub comments.
