Is there a comparable kanban project manager that uses github issues?

I would migrate to github projects, but last I'd checked some key features were missing from github projects:

1. New issues are added to the backlog column by default.

2. Epics, or anything that allows one issue to have multiple sub-issues.

3. The ability to label one issue as blocking another by using keywords, eg: blocks #123 or requires #321.

Is there a simple way of solving these with probot or github actions?

Zenhub is a great alternative, has all the features that you mentioned!
