Practical.  But why GITHUB?  Why not push for an IETF Git server? 
Full control. Not dependent on 3rd party and you don't have to wait on 
Microsoft/GitHub for any advanced integration with other parts of the 
IETF RFC review/editing/publishing system. Like you indicated, I would 
think most work is under one editor, so it's really an overkill.

I understand the pressure to use what's comfortable with many today, 
so I don't like the idea its being used more and more, sort of forcing 
others to do the same.

PS: We are still using CVS for our products! Very old school, but it 
does the job and no money wasted on duplicity.

That said, is there an RFC on using GitHub for publishing?
