[bitcoin-dev] Proposed minor change to BIP 01 to use a PR for request assignment

[Btc Drak]

It's a good idea. It would remove friction from the process and
assignment is auditable to boot, something I've had difficulty with in
the past. Almost every time I see a BIP number I would wonder, is that
self-assigned (and thus invalid) or has it been assigned by the BIP
editor.
