You are talking about openwrt.org, that's down right now  :)
I'm only talking about the feeds here, the core should stay where it is,
and nobody can offer you buildbot.

My point is github is way more user friendly, and i think it's good to have
more people involved on the feed part.
The only must have feature of github is the pull request, but that really
helps people contribute, and good luck to offer PR like on openwrt server.

About openwrt trac, you should:
-disable anonymous posting (useless, counterproductive, ...)
-grant more "write" access (packages maintainer, ...)
-allow the author of an issue to close his issue
