How to have a private repository with public issue tracker on GitHub?

Question

I am going to release some beta version of my application to the community. Project is stored on GitHub in the private repository.

I would like to allow this community to report bugs and place them directly on GitHub Issues tab - it's not provided by GitHub right now. Do you have any idea, how to cover this flow ?

As of now, you can use https://gitreports.com/ to host bugs and issues tracker both for private and public repositories. Plus, issues can be posted without github account.

Use the API access and program some minimal frontend yourself - https://docs.github.com/en/rest/issues
