Not really: if a component is missing from Trac, then folks will still 
submit issues there (under the wrong component), and someone will either 
have to manually move it to Github, or close it down with an explanation 
- in which case the reporter may well just go off in a huff rather than 
re-file in the correct place.  I don't care what we use, but it has to 
be easy to move reports between components, which IMO means some degree 
of integration.
