Trawling GitHub for cookies, bookmarks and browsing history

Great idea to enable private issues, I've created an issue to implement this for GitLab https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3678

I agree that some sort of private communication method might be beneficial, but I wonder why he couldn't have created an issue asking for the maintained to contact him about an issue?

Kept vague enough, I would expect that to get some results.

He wanted a fire-and-forget method, with the least amount of manual work possible.

Having to manually reply to each user who bothered to contact him (even with a copy&paste template) is a lot of work.

That's me, but I do it for Sublime Text licences.
