I certainly agree that it's easy to imagine better issue management or patch review than GitHub has today - like many other projects we use other systems. When I've talked with GitHub engineers, all of our issues are well understood and they have plans to address them.
My skepticism is around the strategy of building and supporting our own things vs. partnering with places like GitHub that make a living building and supporting such software. In the Mozilla-specific case, they have proven open to working with us in the past, by pony-trading enhancements to Firefox for enhancements to GitHub, and the inability to deliver has been more on our side :-/
- bzbarsky 12y agoInteresting. I haven't seen any requests for enhancements to Firefox (or more precisely Gecko) from GitHub, and I watch all incoming Gecko bug reports... Were they asking for these enhancements from Firefox itself, not Gecko, or through some sort of opaque channels or something? Past that, partnering with people makes sense to me if they're flexible enough to add things when we need them. My point is simply that historically GitHub has not been adding the things we need.
