UpdateJun 29, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

Repository admins can now restrict issue creation to collaborators with write access. This gives you more control over who can open issues and helps reduce unwanted issue creation, while keeping issue workflows available to the people who actively maintain and contribute to the project.

Per-user states for multi-user budgets in the REST API

You can now retrieve every user’s progress against a multi-user budget from a single REST API endpoint. This makes it much faster to find who is close to their limit across a large enterprise. Previously, you had to make one API call per user to check per-user consumption, and you couldn’t filter by how much of the budget someone had used.
