I'm working on an open source project that requires me to work with a few third parties. Currently I'm using a private bug tracking system to maintain a list of both bugs and feature requests from these third parties, and priorities are assigned allowing me to target the larger issues first. However, I'd like to move to an open source development process and this means opening up this issue tracker up to the public. However, I don't want to share all of these issues (particularly some of the feature requests)
Therefore, is anyone aware of Issue trackers that allow some issues - such as feature requests - to be private while the remainder are public? I've researched this extensively myself but the best approach I've come up with is having two separate systems - public and private - that I manually synchronise (i.e. public issues -> private issue tracker) - an approach outlined by GitHub here. Surely there has to be something cleverer than this?
