Fair point. We have used Github successfully until now, but as we move to more 
release channels, more components, bug triage process and possibly more bug 
reports from different sources, we (PM, QA and at least some of the development 
leads) felt the need for a more structured bug and feature tracking tool, and 
Jira was chosen. That is not to say that the same cannot be achieved with the 
Github tracker, but it requires a lot of discipline and is time consuming (for 
those who need to verify that the bug information is consistent) and 
error-prone. The core issue is that there is no way in Github to enforce that 
certain labels are present, or that if one label is present others aren't.

Hope this helps,

Francesco
