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

Tags:

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 ?

Bitbucket provides this. You can keep the code private but make tracker public (anyone can view, create, and comment on issues).
