The upside to github (imo) would be that there are already some 800
thousand accounts, there's a fair chance that a person will have or be
willing to create a github account and a fork is a single button
click.
If it replaces the trac steps depends on if using github Issues is a
good idea, or if looking into the github->trac integration seems good
enough.

Yes, you can see a list of forks in a few different ways, as well as
what changes are made in them.

You usually shouldn't be concerning yourself about what's happening on
these forks, as a lot of them will be uninteresting. The people who
have changes that are intended for you will be those that add a pull
request, which creates an issue on the master repository, which you
can merge using the merge button[0].
