Since the *official* repo is now hosted on github, why don't making

of the github ticketing system? [1]

From memory, only members of an organisation/owner of an account can
manage tickets on github. This would be difficult to organise for
git. 

Well... Actually I think the mailing list works pretty well.

And the ticketing system would only be useful to use as a shared TODO
list.

Let me explain my idea with an example:

An issue is discussed, a bug is acknowledged and a proposed solution is
discussed, this all happen in the mailing list, like it always has.

Someone in the "git management" (the one that usually choose how git
should evolve) open a ticket, copy the relevant part of the mailing list
(or link to the discussion in the archive) and (optionally) place the
bug / feature / enhancement into a roadmap / milestone

If the issue is not assigned anyone can see it and come by in the email
with a patch proposal.

This is just an idea, I can't propose myself to such a job, I wouldn't
be able to provide the appropriate support to it.

You probably already discussed this tons of times but I can't figure

out

how you are gonna remember to do something if you don't have a

roadmap

and a ticketing system that allow you to trace the bugs and

features.

We have previously discussed this, and it boils down to "if someone
can ensure it is maintained, let's do it". So far no-one has put their
hand up and there is a fear of the system becoming clogged with many
issues that are not maintained. 

I see, I can understand why, it's hard to just find the time to read all
the messages in this mailing list.
