People won’t respect the boundary if you host the code on github, because it’s just too easy to open issues or pull requests.

However, what about just releasing a zip file with the sources and linking it on your downloads page?

Someone should make sourceavailable.com - A service that automatically pulls my private repos from GitHub and makes it available as open source to other programmers. A read only version of GitHub, without the isssue/PR overhead.

Code should be easy to read/download on https://sourceavailable.com/username/repo

Someone bought the domain after I wrote this comment. Hope they’re working on this idea :)

Some people did close the issues and store them in a directory as plaintext on the repo. Want to report a bug ? make a PR. the extra little friction was added so that you need to spend a little time (and having spent that little time you might as well research a bit your bug or read the doc). Bonus point, your project is now completely portable.
