[QGIS-Developer] Last call for switching to github issue tracker

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

For me as a simple user, the main obstacle of posting issues in redmine  
is, that I fear to produce a duplicate, cause I didn't even learn over the  
years how to efficiently track an issue down if it already exists.
No idea if github or any other solution is better, but redmine just sucks.

My 2 cents,
Bernd
