There is the concept of assignment. Look at this:
http://ente.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~ki08jofa/github1.png

Just the importer script didn't support converting it, but if this is
needed, I guess I can add this functionality. This requires all peoples
who might be assignees to tell me their GitHub account, however.

GitHub doesn't have the concept of "states" like Fixed, Pending,
Wontfix. It has, however, the concept of "labels" you can attach to
issues: These labels can be created at your will, and can hold
information like "Fixed", "Pending" or "Wontfix"

If wished, I can attach a "fixed" label to fixed bugs, and a "pending"
label to pending bugs.
I just thought this was unneccessary, because every bug which is open is
"pending" actually, and every bug which is "just closed", without having
a label like "wontfix" etc. is "fixed" actually.

Have a look, I do have imported all other labels, like "invalid",
"worksforme" and "wontfix".

Here you can see how to attach labels to issues. (I'm not sure if this
works for you with test2, because it's *my* repo and not yours/ours.)

Tip: in the issues list, on the left side there's a list of labels. Just
click some of them, it will filter out only the matching commits.
E.g. you can easily list all commits which are closed-later, by clicking
the "Closed" tab and selecting the "later" label.



BTW, I've got an email about your recently opened issue, Robert. By
replying to that mail, I posted a comment. Great stuff.


I also recommend reading this:
https://github.com/blog/831-issues-2-0-the-next-generation

Especially the commit-integration is great: When your commit message
contains "Fixes #123", then GitHub will automatically add a comment to
the issue #123, stating that commit abc123 has fixed this, and closes
the issue.



Cheers,
