We abandoned Github for bugs and only use Trello. The issue is that bugs need to prioritized alongside other work rather than done separately. Bug is a very broad term covering everything from a bona fide clear cut bug to 99.3% of some feature has been implemented but there is that missing .7%. Also Github doesn't support a 'priority' field for issues making them useless with more than a trivial number of issues.
The other problem is that Github doesn't allow multiple repositories per project (Google Code does). That means each project has its own bug tracker and wiki (we also gave up on them) and has exactly one source repo. If your final product experience is an aggregate of multiple different projects (eg an android client, a web server, a data backend) then bugs can easily be reported against a project when the fix is in a different one. Having to copy/move/reference issues across projects is far too much busy work.
The final issue was that I talked to Zapier folk and bidirectional syncing wasn't supported (and doesn't appear to be today). For example if it supported bidirectional sync between a Trello card and a Github issue then it might be manageable. (By bidirectional syncing I mean that changes made on either side show up on the other one automatically and there is no infinite loop.)
