Help willing contributors find work they can own.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

When someone responds to an open project issue to say they are interested, make the offer visible to the people maintaining the project. Confirm the issue is still available and the contributor is a suitable owner before assigning it.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.
