Will be interesting to see who weighs in on this. My first thought is that the difference between the github list and the wiki list is a bit like the difference between stackoverflow and the forum. The wiki makes more exposition easy and allows the idea to develop. The github list is more oriented to problems that are simple to state and relatively simple to fix.
We need to do more with github and the expected way of doing things. But it would be a shame to lose the power of wiki. Would be nice to somehow have the best of both worlds.
