Re: [eclipse.org-project-leadership] Use of GitHub Issues by Eclipse Projects
Are there any plans to fix or improve the Mylyn GitHub issue connector, too?
 
It should pretty much use the same GitHub APIs and worked well until several months ago. Now at least in Mars installing it via Market Place fails with something like a "broken update link".
See earlier in this thread. The problem seems to exist for a while now. 
 
If some projects are able and allowed to use either issue tracker, then aside from occasional snapshots in either direction it would be great, if they could also track and update both from within the IDE in the same place, if they use Eclipse to work on their projects (which I assume, many do;-)
 
Task Top seems aware of the problem, but claim, GitHub was a "commercial vendor" and they or the Mylyn project don't feel obliged to support it out of the box. 
It feels a bit like lack of Maven/WTP support in M2E where after some time and discussions (and as I know first-hand also many big users shifting to alternatives like IntelliJ then) Red Hat took the lead and created M2E-WTP instead of Sonatype.

Webmaster/Mike will correct me if I'm misstating.

At this point in time, there is no plan to mirror GitHub issues to Bugzilla or vice versa.

What we plan to do is regularly capture issues from GitHub in a manner that can be used to to import into another issue tracker should that need arise. i.e., we're going to pull the data out using GitHub APIs and cache it on our servers.

There is some discussion here:

Ed, I agree that having complete information under eclipse infrastructure is important.   Jetty is one of the projects that would like to shift more towards github, but if bugzilla is to remain (as Mike indicated is will), then I think that github issues & comments should be mirrored to bugzilla and perhaps vice versa.
 
Having a single list of all issues, regardless of source, is valuable.   Currently we are manually creating bugzillas for PRs we receive from guthub, which is only really half a solution. If github ceased to exist, then we'd know an issue had existed, but would lose it's details and comments.   Thus automated mirroring and/or backup to eclipse sounds like a reasonable way to improve/safeguard something that is already happening now (partially) manually.
 
cheers
