No, that's a current limitation of the github tracker.  As a poor
man's attachment system, github does have the gist system:

https://gist.github.com/

that makes it easy to drop any file (small or large) and have it
permanently stored on GH with a stable url.

But I agree that the tracker should have proper file attachments
built-in, using gist is just a workaround, and one most people won't
necessarily know about gist or think of it as a way to attach files to
the tracker.

Since we did switch for ipython, here's me keeping my fingers
painfully crossed for that day to come earlier rather than later...
