I say this as a flat out github fan, who's thrilled we moved for
IPython and everything else I'm involved with.  But... the github bug
tracker is *vastly* inferior to google's.  I keep hoping that, with
how great github is getting very quickly, they'll soon roll out
something to improve the bug tracker, because it's frankly painfully
primitive.

Whoever thought out the google code bug tracker was a smart cookie.
It relies on what appears to be a plain labels system, but with very
simple conventions on how to declare the labels, it basically encodes
a full key-value system on which queries can later be made, reports,
etc.  It's a really elegant piece of work:

http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/IssueTracker

The github tracker is dumb as a brick in comparison, and their search
doesn't even work right.  It's frankly embarrassing, and it sticks out
as a sore thumb compared to how great pretty much everything else
there is.

It's only the fact that the contrast is so stark, that makes me hope
it won't last :)

Regards,
