Comment 8 for bug 1615575

Because most open source projects these days use GitHub.

A lot of users have a GitHub account, so it's easy for them to report issues on a GitHub issue tracker for various projects with a single account.

GitHub also is better designed and more familiar than Launchpad IMHO.

What's also nice is the mentioning feature ( https://github.com/blog/821-mention-somebody-they-re-notified ).

And pull requests also seem to be easier on GitHub?

Oh and..., for the killer feature:

GitHub supports Emojis:
