Answer 1

To the best of my knowledge GitHub does not have this capability. The help center documentation for commits does not have an article on doing this, so I believe the capability does not exist.

Answer 2

Github has very simple rights/privileges (and even simpler management for them).

If you are not a collaborator of a repo, then (in regards to issues)

• you can open issues

• you can comment on all existing issues (open or closed)

• you can close your own issues

• you can re-open your own issues *if you closed them yourself

• you cannot close or re-open issues opened by someone else

• you cannot re-open your own issues if a repo collaborator closed them

The situation you report falls in the last case, so you cannot reopen it. You can ask in the issue thread if a repo collaborator can reopen it, or you can open a new issue and reference the old one (by mentioning its number preceded by a hash sign, e.g. #1189).
