Restrict issue creation to collaborators only
GitHub announced a new repository setting that enables maintainers to restrict issue creation to collaborators only. When this setting is enabled, only users who are explicitly added as collaborators to the repository can create new issues. This feature aims to help maintainers manage their repositories more effectively by reducing spam and unwanted issue submissions from non-collaborators. The setting is available in the repository's settings under the 'Issues' section. This change gives maintainers more control over who can contribute issues, potentially reducing the noise from automated bots or casual users. The feature is part of GitHub's ongoing efforts to improve repository management and security.
Developers can now reduce spam and unwanted issues by restricting issue creation to collaborators only.
