Smaller macOS forge projects were happy with that change, but after careful consideration, we came to the conclusion that GitHub Issues did not have as many features as Trac and would make it more difficult for us to accomplish our work. I'm not aware of GitHub Issues having gained new features since then, such that I don't think our decision would be different today.

Thats fine, but not what i am talking about. If someone starts an update, in a branch in github but reaches a point where it is not quite done, but wishes to discuss it with reviewers, it makes infinite more sense to submit that as a WIP MR instead of converting it to a patch and submitting that to trac. That, frankly, would be absurb.
