Probably not. > 2.

GitHub's issue tracker is awful by comparison, especially for the volume of issues Sage generates. > 3.

If anyone needs help with the Trac configuration I used to be a developer of Trac and know it rather well. As long as somehow has a backup of the database and the config file it should be easy enough to get up and running again.
