10 Ways to improve Github Issues

I love the new GitHub issues, here are some ideas to make it perfect, ordered by priority:

  1. I should be able to pick the assignee and milestone via keyboard when creating a new ticket
  2. Keyboard shortcuts should work everywhere. For example when viewing an existing issue, 'c' will not create a new one.
  3. After creating an issue, the assigned user / milestone should be pre-filled when creating the next issue.
  4. When commenting, I should also be able to assign a different user. Right now this deletes my half-typed comment.
  5. When typing the @ symbol to mention somebody, it should auto-complete the name.
  6. It seems that I can only change the due date of a Milestone, but not remove it entirely.
  7. Campfire Notifications for changes to issue would kick serious ass.
