I don't see that there is a way to edit the repository description using the Gitea API, is this a feature that will be added? I see that you can edit the organization description, so why not the repository description

being able to edit a repo via API would be good. My specific needs would be to set the private boolean via API. I figure that's similar enough that I could piggyback onto this issue as well :)

My org wants me to take this on, so will be adding this API endpoint like Github's.

Is there any improvements on this issue (Any pull request)? It would be great if it will be available in the next Gitea version:)
