Exactly. I really don't think that moving the issues to github would help us much at all, and it would cost us quite a bit of time in terms of manpower (something that we're already sorely lacking), and from what I know of github's features, we'd end up with a bugtracker that was worse anyway. The only real advantage that it would have would be that it would be integrated with what we were using to do pull requests. And I don't think that that's anywhere near worth the cost. - Jonathan M Davis
