Oh, sad.

That sounds promising. As already discussed I think that we can fix some
of the issues cited by you.

Note that I'm maintaining a tracker sync project that keeps (part of)
two trackers in sync. I'm using this for customers in the automotive
industry who need to sync issues for a current project from the OEM
Bug-Tracker with their own bugtrackers. This has (among the backends for
proprietary automotive bugtrackers) interfaces to Jira and Roundup. This
could be extended to allow syncing new issues from github. That way
people could use the (generally accepted) github interface for posting
new issues and the workflow could then be handled in roundup keeping the
github issue up-to-date.
