In XEmacs's Roundup we allow any user to assign themselves an
"assignable" Role (which is misnamed "Developer").  All this does is
add them to the list that pops up for "Assigned-To" (there is also an
assign-to-me option there which allows anybody to assign an issue to
themselves, whether they have the Developer Role or not).

This was trivial.  A couple lines to create the Role in schema.py, and
a couple lines in the issue template to filter in Reviewers and
Developers in the Assign-To menu.

Limiting a user's offer to a given module would be more effort to
implement, but shouldn't be too hard.  Probably the code would be very
similar to the auto-nosy that some maintainers have for modules they
maintain.
