Definitely I agree with that thinking. One thing to consider is that some people may us the pull request model and then not want to go further outside of the tool. One way to think of this is to see if you can work with someone entirely in GitHub, if that happens, maybe by having the content reviewer do the shuffles with bug tracking. > Even firefox is considering using Github as an alternative medium > to receive contribution. > http://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2015/01/12/utilizing-github-for-firefox-d evelopment/ > > Lei made a great chart comparing the platforms. > > https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9sUy41_Rk3KdGl4RVhDSXZIZmc/view?usp= sharing Were > you able to compare with Mantis, which is what runs http://bugs.centos.org? What are the time implications with connecting to a bug/task tracking tool? I'm glad you are thinking about this at the start, in case you also use GitHub in parallel with git comments and pull requests, as a way to get a minimal feature set running.
