👍 As we've grown, we've run into this. Especially wanting to allow QA staff who are not coders this access.
2014... Feels like ancient history, and yet still so relevant in 2020.
We have a private repo with issue tracker. It would be awesome if we could add users to this repo that have permission to the issues, (and pull-requests?), but not to code.
So no pull-push rights, no clone rights, no access to the code
tab. Basically, nothing that allows them to see or even copy our code. But everything to allows them to read and comment on issues, including the project boards.
This way we could easily add a third-party QA to a private repo, without worrying about our code. Freelancers on an hourly basis, whom you don't trust with your code. This would have so much potential.
Right now you need to give out full push access to let people assign tags etc. to issues. In case where only few people integrate code in the main repo this is not optimal since you might want to let contributors assign issues (to themselves) and set labels in the upstream repo but not give them full push access.
