Closes #9646
Problem
Contributors sometimes request to be assigned to issues that are already assigned, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
Solution
Updated the
CONTRIBUTING.mdfile to clearly state that contributors should only comment on or request to be assigned to issues that are not already assigned. The new guidelines specify:These changes aim to ensure that contributors focus on issues available for them to work on.
