To clarify, authors have a draft in github - we're good with
authors/editors using whatever tools they find most effective
and aren't going to mandate draft tool use one way or another.

The issues are in trac because it was important, given a
highly factionalized working group participant base, to have
the issue tracker on a neutral, IETF-owned and managed platform.
I think that regardless of whatever else is used, there's a
lot of process value in having good IETF-managed tools available,
and I'd love it if we could get a git service (including ticketing
and their wiki) up on IETF resources.  But trac is what we've got
so trac is what we use.

I think the goal here is to give people the tools to be effective
rather than having them be controlled by their tools.
