I support this proposal. GitHub offers a lot more tools for organization than emails do, which makes reviewing issues considerably easier.

Most TLS documents are hosted and worked on in GitHub, though with varying levels of interaction. For example, some interact with GitHub in "issue tracking mode," wherein editors primarily use GitHub for tracking open issues. Others interact with GitHub in a way that resembles "issue discussion mode," wherein substantive issue discussion takes place on GitHub issues and consensus calls occur on the list.

Moreover, with the rising rate at which other WGs and IETF participants adopt GitHub for document development, especially those formed in recent years, we have not made expectations for use of GitHub clear.
