Why should you restrict issue deletion to organization owners only in your GitHub organization
GitHub is a powerful platform for collaborative software development and code management.
Restricting issue deletion to organization owners only ensures a higher level of control over important project data. When only organization owners have the authority to delete issues, it prevents accidental or unauthorized removal of critical information, maintaining project integrity.
This feature enhances accountability and clarity within your team, as every issue remains visible to all collaborators. By implementing this restriction, you safeguard your project's workflow and ensure transparency within your GitHub organization.
