I'm sure using GitHub's system has advantages. All I'm saying is it's 
nowhere near mature enough to replace a Redmine tracker like pgAdmin's. 
Notice that I specified *most* basic, by which I mostly mean:

  * There is no solution tracking.
  * There is no importance tracking, or any kind of prioritization.

It is basically (pun intended) worthless for non-trivial projects.
