Considering GitHub's issue tracker is used for the project I wanted to point this out to you all in case no one had seen it yet. Essentially it is a "petition" to GitHub about improving the tracker.
I know the tracker is minimal and could be improved - I hope it'll get some tweaks. But I kinda like how minimal it is, maybe too much exposure to corporate JIRAs and other trackers
There are some nice browser plugins and 3rd party integration sites that help, like waffle.io and zenhub.io (which even adds a +1 button). Need to play with those more, good stuff!
