The pessimist in me would say that Github doesn't have issues as git repos because it makes migrations off of their platform more difficult. Hence making vendor lock-in stronger.
The optimist would say limiting contributions to issues on web platform made the formatting ( markdown ) consistent. So that linking back to issues and commits was more standard, and therefore made Github Issues a nice tool to use over the competition at the time.
- sc11 7y agoYou can respond to issues by email. The formatting is already not consistent.

- Naac 7y agoThat's fair. I was really looking at the bottom of the barrel for reasons github would do this, other than vendor lock-in.
