How to completely remove an issue from GitHub?

Question

Is it possible to completely remove an issue from the GitHub issue tracker?

Answer 1

Still impossible. Another workaround to the ones suggested in the other answers is to label the issue as "deleted" (or any other label you might fancy better), to be able to filter them out if you use the github API to retrieve them. Obviously you should use that specific label only for this purpose, setting the label when you close the issue.
