all database information should be stored external to Apple

[mikedo]

The current email submission template includes contact and other information not part of the public facing database. It is desirable I think to create a private section of the database that retains this information external to Apple.

I'd be happy to do this but I don't know a way to put private information under a password or access control on a public GH repo. Ideas?

I'm also not sure how to hide some of this information on a public git with a static-hosted website like we have here. In the re-designed registration process we ask to fill out the GitHub form where we give the user an option to either fill out the form with the contact information directly, or share it more privately over the email (as it was done before). The second is the preferred method to avoid sharing contact details publicly.
