One Source of Truth to Rule Them All

Github's issue tracker isn't particularly featureful but it is quick.

Compare that to JIRA where the process of creating a ticket is so painful that people often just won't do it.

It seems to me you could get better reporting out of GitHub if you had a little bit of structured markup in the text.

A few months ago I moved our team over to a full Github workflow, and found a way to consolidate issues there and still provide a sort of kanban/scrummy interface to it via http://www.huboard.com .

Especially in a compliance-heavy environment, that's essential. I'd be happy to answer any questions about what we did.
