We discussed this topic at the team meeting and Launchpad will remain the
primary issue tracker. We'll leave Github's issue tracker enabled for a bit and
see how many bugs are raised. Any legitimate bugs will need to be copied across
to Launchpad. Launchpad can import bugs on other trackers for sure, but them we
can't use it standalone. If the volume of bugs raised on Githb becomes a flood,
we'll have to look at other ways of automating the import into Launchpad and
dealing with the associated workflow and sync issues.
