[Qgis-psc] Moving the issue queue to github

[DelazJ]

You may be right, Giovanni, but now, it won't only concern wrongly or not
done reports: _ALL the reports_ will have to be tagged by you...

I must confess that I don't always know which category to set when
reporting an issue and I prefer to not fill it rather than setting a wrong
one. I think an explicite title helps developers to decide if the report
may concern them or not.
imho, priority is not a really clear item, given that it looks like a mix
of level of urgency (to be solved) and impacts of the bug. There have been
discussions about rewording this list, if I'm not wrong (I recall a mail of
Paolo asking to follow Debian's classification). This is even hard to
understand, with the "target release" field, choosing among lower, higher
and nice to have priorities.
There are things to improve in Redmine. Sure!

That said, my above point was more about setting the QGIS version, which is
currently a mandatory information. And note that I'm not against change
(github, as said before, may add coherence/consistency to a newcomer. I was
really puzzled the first time I wanted to contribute to issues and code),
just wanted to raise these points I haven't read yet.
