What do github assignments mean

Recently I opened an issue on github, after some time I also opened a pull request for the same. Today, one of the maintainers of the project assigned the issue to me. This appears at the end of issue page:

<me> was assigned by <maintainer>
<maintainer> added this to the High milestone.

What does this mean? What am I supposed to do regarding the issue? Google didn't bring up anything useful.

As stated in the GitHub docs.

Assignees clarify who is working on specific issues and pull requests.

Assigning someone to an issue is simply a way to keep track of who is working on what.

Some (but not all) projects may add extra meaning to being an assignee so I suggest checking to see if there is a CONTRIBUTING file or section of the README that clears this up.
