Hi Karolina,

for what I know, you first have to create a OSGEO account, to be able to
login in at various QGIS sites:

http://www2.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/index.html#bugs-features-and-issues

with that login you should be able to login at hub.qgis.org, edit the
issue, and then your name should be available in the dropdown (I think).

if not, please report back
