And a happy new year (and stuff) to all.

I am not opposed to moving away from mercurial, provided we can find a good solution to the 'latest editor's draft" question.

I haven't used gut hub issues much in the past. With that disclaimer in mind, two questions I can think of:

1) Is there is a way for github to Cc our mailing list for every issue open and every comment / change? The hook between our issue tracking and our list is quite crucial.

2) I might be the only one, but I do make extensive use of bugzilla's advanced search. I love bugzilla's ability to search for "all the issues fixed more than 2 weeks ago and containing a link to a changeset" and save that search. Having that makes my life as co-chair a little more convenient. I suspect we may be able to do something similar with github issue labels?
