Ah. "do" meant report not fix. Well, the short answer I guess is that you
can't. You could, however, always attach files to the mailing list, or you
can just copy-paste that code into the actual issue, which is a bit easier
on github IMO. It changes the reporting workflow a bit, but I don't think
it's a deal breaker. I think the positives outweigh the negatives here.

The reason I bring this up is that I find Trac to be a disincentive to
report things, file enhancement issues, etc. now that almost all projects I
work with regularly are on github. I doubt I'm the only one, but maybe I am.
