Github has an API for accessing issue contents.

curl -i "https://api.github.com/repos/numpy/numpy/issues?state=open";

If some markup for test cases is devised, a tool can be written
that detects them.

Alternatively, one could just add a separate git repository 
numpy/bugs.git for bug test cases, containing e.g. files
`gh-1234.py`. Such scripts need to be written anyway at some
point (or copypasted to Python shell). It would also be better
from security POV to use a separate repo for bug test cases.

This would also solve the issue of how to add attachments
to bug reports in one way.
