I am minded at this point to ask that the folks who find the need to use GitHub please make themselves heard on list within our primary record of communications. The mailing list has functioned quite well as a de facto issue tracker thus far and I do not enjoy the notion of having to chase down discussion across multiple fora.
This is a good point. I am the one at fault here.
I have assumed from the get-go that some people would wish to contribute via GitHub, hence my faithful mirroring of the Gitorious repository there. Yesterday I made convenience use of the GitHub issue tracker. This was in response to a rather unique situation, in which one GitHub contributor put a large set of useful changes, with a large set of useful comments, in one pull request. (The contributor first attempted to use Gitorious and found it too difficult.) For issue-management purposes I began to record individual issues from this pull request in the GitHub issue tracker. What I'll do from now on, and until some 'real' issue tracking solution is adopted, is avoid any temptation to use the GitHub issue tracker and instead use the mailing list.
