Flagged in review on the submission PR (google/oss-fuzz#15924) by a project maintainer: file_github_issue: true means OSS-Fuzz auto-files a public GitHub issue on this repo the instant it finds a crash. For a project whose entire reason for adding fuzzing is 15 externally reported CVEs in one year, that's backwards - it discloses a vulnerability, potentially with a reproducer attached, before anyone here has had a chance to look at it privately.

Set to false. Findings now route to primary_contact by email instead, which is what OSS-Fuzz's own responsible-disclosure timeline (private first, then public after a fix ships or 90 days pass) actually assumes.
