See http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/88690/add-a-note-comment-to-a-github-pull-request-before-the-request-has-been-opened for details.

I emailed GH and they replied with:

Hi Luke,

We're glad you're enjoying GitHub and have taken the time to write in.

We're always working to improve GitHub and we consider every suggestion we receive.

I've added your idea about adding a note/comment to a GitHub pull request (before the request has been opened) to our internal Feature Request List.

Let us know if you have any other Git or GitHub related questions!

All the best,
Francis

Since what you want is to not show them on the issues (as opposed to forbidding accidental merge), you could use a WIP tag and the search operator:

-label:WIP

Thanks, that does sound a sensible ideal. Although I didn't state it, preventing accidental merge would be even better. Hopefully GH will implement this feature to keep up with GL.
