Description

My usual workflow when creating a pull request is to assign it to a collaborator. Right now, using git hub request create doesn't save me much time because I still have to open up github.com to assign the PR. It would be great if I could pass an -a <username> parameter to git hub request create to automatically assign the PR when it's created.

Research direction
First, examine the existing implementation of the 'request create' subcommand to understand how it currently constructs and sends the pull request creation request. Look for the command line argument parsing, likely in a file like cli.py or commands.py. Then, add an optional a/ assignee flag that accepts a GitHub username. Modify the API call to include the assignee parameter when creating the pull request. Check the GitHub API documentation for the correct endpoint and parameter name. Also, review any existing tests for similar features to ensure consistency.
