I don't see any problems with explicitly writing github links on a 
ticket (seems just as easy as attaching a patch to me).  Another, 
perhaps complementary, practice would be to name branches in git after 
trac issues.  So if you want to get the work I've done on issue #523, 
you just run:

$ git fetch dwins issue-523

In combination with the github Fork Queue 
(http://github.com/blog/270-the-fork-queue) this could be a pretty 
lightweight way to deal with tracking tickets/branches.
