Comment (by mltsy):

 As a new plugin developer, I have just gone through the process of
 checking in a new plugin, which I have been developing in Github.  I
 thought "Hey I suppose I should start tracking issues in the trac system
 provided with this new SVN repo instead of trying to host it in two
 places..." but when I tried, I came across several tickets like this one,
 basically saying that's not going to happen.  So I decided I would stick
 with Github for issue tracking, etc.

 If you aren't going to support a full stack of software for open-source
 repository development (and it has apparently been years since Trac has
 worked for plugins), you are forcing developers to use another system,
 such as GitHub, which does support the full stack.  So, in that case, why
 not make it easier on them and add some automation to the process of
 migrating code from their outside repository to the SVN repository you
 require the code to be hosted in?

 Perhaps you could just add a git endpoint on your server, which would scan
 the master branch for changes, and commit them to the SVN trunk?  That way
 I could use the same git project on my local machine to push to both
 Github and WP plugins.  Alternately, you could setup a URL that could be
 used as a post-commit hook on Github, so that any time I checked code into
 Github, the SVN repo would automatically be updated.

 I suppose this is off-topic for this ticket - sorry! Maybe this
 integration warrants a new feature ticket?
