I'm open to whatever people want to do with regard to issue tracking.  I 
can't imagine anyone wants to copy tickets from one place to another. 
So I'd guess the consensus would be to keep managing the existing 3.0 
tickets in Trac.  We can open a discussion on it if others think otherwise.

My suggestion was just to use the GitHub issue tracker for pull 
requests.  Again, we can disable the GitHub issue tracker if it feels 
too scattered to others.  We can also manage pull requests with email 
only (I'll be sending core committers information on where pull requests 
get sent).  I delete a lot of email, so I was suggesting opening a 
ticket to record a pull request.
