I think you can hack around this using Git's URL rewriting.
For example, try this:
git config --global \
url.gh-other:other/.insteadOf \
g...@github.com:other/
git config --global \
url.gh-org:theorganization.insteadOf \
g...@github.com:theorganization/
And then:
git clone g...@github.com:other/publicrepo.git
will hit gh-other, which you can configure using an ssh host alias.
