I checked a few at random, all did. Initially they did not, but then, if I 
recall correctly, Github changed the way privileges worked and maintainers 
were made admins.

I could be wrong about that though.

Not what my experience shows. (My sample is small, of course.) The typical 
case is for the maintainers to not even know they have issues disabled. (And 
there's no way for users to tell them short of creating a dummy pull 
request, as the usual mechanism of creating an issue obviously doesn't 
work.)
