Has Github a simple and straight foward solution to bug tracking?
GitHub provides a feature for issue tracking, yes. My suggestion would be to just use that one, as it would just be consequent with the code-hosting and users will not have to search stuff in different places.
I think we talked about it before, but the two big problems are getting all our bugs transferred to Github's tracker and also that you need to register an account on Github in order to report a bug.
Moving the bugs would be tricky, though there's lots of really old bugs that probably would never get closed anyway, so not sure how important it is to keep all of the noise ones no one knows what to do about.
For the registration thing, I personally don't see it as a problem, since if someone didn't want to register with Github, they could simply report the bug on the mailing list and someone from the community could open an ticket for them.
That being said, I can't say I've used Github Issues enough to know if it's suitable for our use.
