I´m sorry if the communication was not optimal.
We discussed the usage of the github issues after the move to github a few weeks ago and most people seems to like it. I also use it for an internal project and it works fine.
The only showstoppers that we identified at that time was the problem with the url and useraccounts than can´t be migrated with the script from Thomas. After some more discussion it became clear the the current solution is the best compromise. 

There are a lot of pros and cons for every bugtracker. We discussed it several times and we want to go with the github issue tracker for now because of the nice integration with the code and the integration with the usermanagement.

I´m sure there a a lot of pros and const for that decision. But this solution is something that works best for us for now and most people seems to like it.
