I think the same thing is happening as happened with Git itself. You can speculate about whether A is better than B all you want, but actually using something alters your perspective. If I had to put my finger on what is was in the case of the issues lists, I would say the responsiveness of the GitHub issue tracker. But whatever it is, something is making me want to abandon the old trac issue tracker ASAP.
Please notice that the GitHub issue tracker does not allow you to attach patches (you can only attach graphics.) This raises the question if the only way to contribute will be through GitHub pull requests. While these certainly are convenient to the maintainers, they do require extra work for the casual contributor: https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork
