This might be the case, and i am sure can work if done properly if github and 
this external tool are properly tied into each other. What concerns me is the 
statement that in this migration to github, github and trac are kept completely 
separate, with no automatic linkage, but still contributors are expected to use 
both. I predict this is in the long run doomed to failure, as people will in 
the end submit github pull requests but forget about trac...
