Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Users can be assigned on GitHub.
In the event of a notification about a user getting assigned, Hookshot will currently post the whole issue OP alongside with a comment saying who was assigned.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Only say who was assigned, using a more specific emoji (e.g. 🧑💻 or ➕🧑) than the generic edit emoji (📝)
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by tracing Hookshot's GitHub assignment notification handling, which currently posts the full issue body and an assignment comment. Done means an assignment notification identifies who was assigned without reproducing the issue body and uses a more specific assignment emoji instead of the generic edit emoji.
