I don't even understand, why force-fit something and use it for what it is not for. Github is great for shared repository etc.,for devs to collaborate on code. I guess the issues feature is also great for open source repositories to be able to track issues that the devs know about etc, or raising a support issue. But, for internal teams doing dev, there are better tools out there which handle issue tracking well. They need not be linking to the code, but really for most of the issue tracking, there are other important things like to managing priorities, easy assignment, essentially you need a better filtering and a management system that not only devs, but every stakeholder involved can easily use. Github is for devs only (in my opinion). But, issue management involves every stakeholder, so it is best to have it outside of github.
