No.  I think a lot of us still prefer Roundup and a significant amount of work
is being done to integrate our Roundup instance with GH.

I love Roundup's nosy feature, so I subscribe to the new-bugs-announce list,
and yes, you see the first message of any new bug, but I only nosy myself to
the issues I know I care about right then (it's always easy to nosy in on a
message later).

I think that's true.  I plan to start with issues I've already filed or nosied
on.
