Thanks for volunteering to help! You're right about how Bugzilla automatically assigns someone to a bug when it's submitted. In Fedora Docs, I think we try to be proactive, so you're probably safe in assigning yourself to a bug that interests you. When you make this change, Bugzilla will notify the previous assignee by email, which should prompt them to complain if they choose. You may also wish to comment on the bug, saying that you intend to fix it, and asking if anybody else has started thinking about or writing a fix. Basically, as long as a guide's maintainer is aware of what you're doing (or should reasonably be aware), you can make any changes you wish. We can always use git to undo or revise the changes, if required. Have fun!
