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:
