This actually already works; if you create a Personal Access Token here:
You can then change config.ini like this:
[login] username = <GENERATED TOKEN> password = x-oauth-basicJust used it and it worked like a charm.

This can also be done programmatically using the API.

Originally opened as IQAndreas/github-issues-import#21
Even though the script doesn't do anything "funny" with the user's credentials (which can be clearly seen since the code is open source) it's still not a good idea requiring a password in the script (and it's especially not a good idea to store that password in a plaintext file on your computer!)
I added the option of prompting for a password when the script, but I still would like the capability to use API keys instead.
