I think you're missing an important option. If an issue is on github then I'm much more inclined to report any bug I come across.

If it's on some obscure bug tracker that I don't have an account for then the odds of me reporting it are almost zero because chances are there's an alternative to what your software does if it happens to be a show stopper and most of the time if it's a wide spread project there will be fixes to the bug in other places.

It's annoying to make an account, go through all of that stuff and then realize most of the time nothing happens with your report.
