However, I don't seem to be able to do that - all I seem to be able to do is add comments. Do I need additional karma to be able to edit an issue, so that I can assign it to myself while I work on it, and before I submit a patch? If so, how does one "apply" for such karma?

If an issue has not already been opened for whatever I am working on,
I open one. Then I reference the "issue number" (#nnnn) either in the
subject or body of the commit message. I'm pretty sure that in most
cases, the reference to the issue number in the commit message is a
requirement.

It was a long time ago (2012), but I think all I had to do to receive
the necessary "karma" was to ask for it on the [chirp_devel] mailing
list.
