Hey, this is my first time contributing to an OSP but MDN has helped me with Web Dev and I'd like to contribute to it if I can, and if what I am asking is a little silly could you please redirect me.

I'd like to work on this issue since the previous PR (#39550) was closed without merging, to get started would I have to just comment here and ask to get assigned this issue or do I just have to make a pull request?

Thank you

You can go ahead and send a PR since it appears no one else is working on it
