No problem - anything to avoid doing my real work....

Is the v2 API missing some features you need? Maybe it would be better
to use that until v3 is out of beta

Well, the wiping of text directly below an issue's level 2 heading is
a data-loss bug, so I would suggest that you certainly don't do that
:)

With respect to sub-headings (level 3 or below) that are added by hand
to the github.org file, I would suggest that by default you do not
sync them with GitHub. Maybe you could have a function called
something like org-ghi-make-heading-a-comment that would work in a
similar way to org-ghi-make-todo-an-issue. However, it seems that
GitHub issue comments only understand markdown syntax, not org syntax,
so unless the comment is just simple text it would require an export
step (https://github.com/alexhenning/ORGMODE-Markdown might help
there).

Cheers

Will
