Ideally yes, but the problem is that we will risk to have duplicate issues all 
over the place and also that Joris is not looking at it, so for many things one 
would anyway open an issue on savannah and then keep in sync the two... Not 
really ideal.

Also in the past there were not many people using it. People can discuss 
problem on the forum and on the mailing list and then we can direct them to 
savannah for bug reports. Many projects have their own bug reporting websites, 
I myself had to create account on multiple of them (e.g. to file bugs to Qt or 
to Redhat, etc...). So I do not see much problem there. Also I'm not sure we 
want to depend too much on github. It is practical but it has also downsides, 
for example it is not always visible in China and as a GNU project we are more 
reliably hosted on savannah, IMHO.
