Atlassian also has BitBucket, which compares pretty nicely with GitHub in terms of ease of use and features, price. GitHub's issue tracker is also a bare bones, minimal feature. They could really make it a lot better. There's no way to assign a group of people to a ticket. There's no way to get any kind of input confirmation for pull requests. Issue organization options are pretty poor. More states than just "Open" and "Closed" would be nice. There are labels which are basically tags so that's nice, and embedding content into issue comments is really nice too. My favorite issue tracker though is unfuddle. Unfuddle has a really great API.
