Hi team, if I want to take one issue (KT-xxxx) to kontribute. Should I get assigned first or just go ahead and raise a pull request then find someone to review it?

[dmitriy.novozhilov]

Hi. AFAIR external users can not change Assignee field, so you can just comment in issue that you will work on it and then just mention issue number in your PR

🙏

[dmitriy.novozhilov]

BTW which issue you want to fix?

Hi @dmitriy.novozhilov @ilya.gorbunov, I’ve put up a PR for the KT-50372, could you please help review it?

PR link: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/pull/4686

Hi, thanks for the PR.
I can a look at it, but please note that since we have not yet made a decision to include this function in the standard library, do not expect it to be merged soon.

Thanks @ilya.gorbunov for the review, just wonder in Kotlin how do we make decision on whether or not to add stdlib functions like this one? Will there be any public discussions we can be involved?

[ilya.gorbunov]

You can greatly influence the positive decision by providing compelling use cases in the corresponding YouTrack issue.

[Junjie Wu]

makes sense 👍

Hi, just want to follow up the issue, I’ve added some context that might be helpful on the decision making, could you please take a look?
