I'd like to have input from our developers here. Chris, Anika,
Michitux, everyone... what's your opinion? Would moving to github help
you? Make you more happy?

I don't need much evolution in a bug tracker when it does what it is
supposed to do. I mentioned a few things github does not do currently.

As I said I'm not convinced of the ease of use... pasting code example
is a PITA in github when you're not familar with markdown.

Job reputation is an argument I agree to put on the pro side. Moving
to github would make bug fixing more visible and help contributors
increase their public reputation. Good point.
