GitHub feature wishlist

Tracking the GitHub missing features that are directly impacting OpenTelemetry.

• Support "Restrict who can push to matching branches" in Rulesets
  • We use this extensively in classic branch protections and this missing feature is blocking us from moving to the modern rulesets.
• Split out repo deletion permission in fine-grained tokens
  • We use a classic token for GitHub administration via Infrastructure as Code, because classic tokens have a separate permission for repo deletion, and we really really don't want to accidentally delete all our repos via IaC.
  • This missing feature is blocking us from using GitHub App token for IaC workflows.

I'd like to add

• Support custom status in project updates
  • This would allow us to customise the status of our projects under the report in https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/projects?query=is%3Aopen
