If you find an OSS issue that calls your attention, go for it. You don't need to ask permission to start working or have it assigned to you. If someone else sends a PR before you, that's great. You can use your knowledge of the issue to help review the PR, add tests, and validate the approach.

this is really sad there are lots of solutions to the problem of pinning package manager versions but something distributed with node was the closest to a possible pragmatic solution maintainers will have much more friction in our lives going forward
Steven ⬢@styfle.dev · last yr.BREAKING: The Node.js TSC voted to stop distributing Corepack (i.e. the distribution will no longer contain a corepack executable) on future (i.e. 25+) release lines of Node.js – existing release lines as well as the very next (i.e. 24.x) will keep it as experimental.
