GitHub issues as separate repo?

There's already an API for GitHub issues, but has anyone succeeded in making it two-way? That is:

git clone [email protected]:user/repo.issues.git # Like for wiki
editor repo.issues/1.json
git push -u origin master

And voilà, a new/updated issue #1!

It could use a pre-receive hook to validate before accepting any pushes, so invalid formatting shouldn't be a problem.

In other words, is there some way to handle the issues of a GitHub project as another GitHub repo?

Aside from using the API, I don't see how this can be done cleanly.

You could put together a (custom) monstrosity that updates a separate GitHub repo with all the issues in said repo at a predefined interval (using the API), but given the effort involved, this better be worth it to you :)
