All this problems seem to me like good problems to have.
They all seem to stem from the fact that github is too successful. And too many people are on github and too many people are using it, often in wrong ways.
Of course github should solve them all. But still, it's still better to have problems with too many people and too much interest, than have the opposite problem - dying platform that people are leaving (see: sourceforge and Google Code).
It's not a good problem for the Open Source community after all.
Being too successful is of course a good problem for github to have, but for the individual maintainers, it's still a source of frustration that can lead to maintainer burnout. If too many people get frustrated and leave, then it can quickly turn from a problem of too many people to having too few.
