 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
 "assigned" or "claimed" by
 :ref:`proposing a solution via a pull request <how-to-pull-request>` (PR).
 We ask PR authors to
 `link the PR to the issue
 <https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue>`_.
 Such links are be displayed in the discussion thread as well as the sidebar
 on the issue page on GitHub.

 Before starting to work on an issue, please check if there is already
 a linked PR. 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
 a new PR; duplicate PRs are unnecessary concurrent work and thus 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.
