I don't see a big problem with Markdown. As for the attachement system,
yes, it barely does not exist, only for images. To include texts (like
dmesg output) there are two options:
* Upload it to gist and include a link to it in the bug report
* Include the text file content verbatim in ``` ... ``` blocks.
Both of which are not the best solutions. I have asked the guys at
github to add some javascript to the bugtracker that automates that, but
I think they won't implement something like that soon, even so it should
be pretty easy to do.
I think bitbucket.org has an improved bugtracker with all the features
you want, but me personally I haven't used it and I don't know how open
it is. Github is very open in that you can export all information if you
want and also makes migration easier.
Regards,
Michael
