Whats the benefit of assigning someone to a PR? Whenever I open a PR I never assign myself to it. Does github do some cool stuff like when some hits "Requests CHanges" it messages me?
I don't too. The only benefit I found is, it provides a profile picture in pull requests page shown above in red box and I'm thinking to use this action.
When you work in big team on 1 project, you could have more that a few opened pull request and sometimes you need to find PR of specific person, so for this you can use filter by author and if you use assign field - you could see PR's of that person
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
