Have you tried asking users why?

I think it's a bit sad to overturn past agreements.  People without
GitHub accounts (for reasons including its terms of use) were assured
that we could ask people on the much-easier-to-use forum to report
bugs for us:

Putting fingers in ears and singing "la-la-la we don't hear about the
bug if it's not on github" may reduce the theoretical bug count, but
doesn't actually squash any bugs.  It would be nice if github's bug
tracker communicated with the rest of the world better.
