Look at diagoproject.com's ticket triage. They moved repository to github.com but cannot move issues there. It's built on trac and works. I am sure github.com will take ages to do such thing. Indeed even Python needs to rely on roundup for issues tracking. Now the developers will be more miserable since issues won't directly link to commits or changes which is loss of integrity.
Also from a ethical point of view it's wrong to trust for profit commercial closed source for community driven open source work. I am sure history will repeat and github.com will become future sourceforge.net.
The django project is one of the last big trac users. That doesn't mean it's a good idea to use trac. They should definitely move issues to github, or at least to a better issue tracking platform.
"I am sure github.com will take ages to do such thing" I have no idea what you're on about. I handled the migration of a massive bugzilla database to Github. Wrote this[1] in the process. The github team was super friendly and helpful in assisting me in the process with zero delays (shout out to Ivan!).
