Yup. I hold on to the hope that, because it's so egregiously, painfully broken and braindead and it stands out so badly in comparison to the rest of github (which is brilliant), that it won't be too long before this improves. Granted, we can't know what's on their internal todo list, but those guys are obviously good and listen to feedback (from what I've seen elsewhere on the site), and their bug tracker has become something of a laughing stock, so I can only imagine that they're actually working on it. In the meantime, Min recently pointed out this interesting alternative: http://githubissues.heroku.com/#darrendale/mpl-issues You can point it to any repository you want, and it makes interacting with the issue list far, far saner than via github itself. We're using now that interface ourselves for IPython: http://githubissues.heroku.com/#ipython/ipython and I have to say that I like it quite a bit. For those on OSX, this can even be installed to run locally, with the feel of a native app (it's still a webkit app, but it launches like a local app). Something to keep in mind as you make the decision... In the end, in IPython we decided to move to github in order to benefit from the close integration between pull requests, bugs and commits. Pull requests automatically create an issue, one can close bugs automatically from the commit message, etc. I figured these things would be nice to have for an everyday workflow, and that eventually github itself would improve its native bug system.
