Its great to see this is being raised again. In previous hackfests we discussed this with Giovanni and he seemed on board with the idea. In parallel we could migrate the wiki to GH wiki (which is also a git repo which is nice). Are you thinking more generally that we get rid of redline? Because there is still the issue of all the other projects we host there. It would be nice to end-of-life redline and ask others to migrate off it too so that we have less infrastructure to manage….

If GitHub Issues turns out to be your favorite but for the issue attachment capabilities, maybe it would be worth setting up a dataset uploading service that issue creators can then use to upload and link in their issues.
