This is specifically an issue about the Github instance. It seems that only admin users can assign users to issues, and only admin users can add labels to issues. This is a pretty crippling limitation for us (and many open source products, I would have thought): you don't want to have too many admins, but you want to share the work of maintaining issues. Also, people only ever really "assign" issues to themselves: having an admin assign an issue to someone else is just wrong.

Any chance of either a repo-level option ("collaborators can assign users", "collaborators can add labels") or an intermediate privilege. Or perhaps I'm missing a way to do this?
