I wrote a patch that implements this feature.

This also works in the REST API: * /issues.xml?assigned_to_id=me

I think that "me" should be available for "issues/new”.

I think it would be even better if PUT supports 'assigned_to_id=me'. After applying the patch, GET and POST API requests support 'assigned_to_id=me' but only PUT does not.

Would you update the patch?

Thank you for your feedback.
By adding change_me_to_usable_in_edit_and_update.patch in addition to change_me_to_usable.patch, you should be able to support to PUT actions.

I changed change_me_to_usable_in_edit_and_update.patch a bit.

Committed, thanks!
