I think using the issue tracker of github isn't a good idea. Because
tgt is using github just as git repository. The development is based
on this mailing list. If we start to use the isse tracker of github,
other developers will start to send pull requests instead of patch to
the list.

And I cannot see ugly points of launchpad (and we can use public
server). Which part of launchpad do you dislike?
