Using mailing lists provides no immunity against "WWIC", but it is certainly safer than Github for the time being (who knows, there might be a time when people sign up to Github before they do email, and their friends open an issue when they want to meet up for drinks but we're not quite there yet). Jokes aside, there are many serious reasons why good old-fashioned mailing lists should be the mainstay of important communication in OSM. For me, the greatest plus is that mailing lists are not controlled by (and at the whim of) business interests. Others have qualms about signing up to an American social network platform just to participate in OSM discussions (remember - if the product is free, you are the product). Others again might prefer the accessibility offered by email, where it is relatively straightforward to have a 100% voice based interface, and so on. So yes, +1 to keeping the discussion on email - documenting results on Github is ok, but trying to move the decision-making there would be problematic.
