Most WHATWG standards are not using GitHub Issues.
As the new Google Code it too might disappear. Fortunately the standards themselves will survive if this happens.
 
Issues some WHATWG contributors have with GitHub Issues:
 
* Lack of mailing list integration.
* Lack of sophisticated query mechanism found in Bugzilla.
* Spammable with forgeable/spoofable attribution. Example: [https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/104#issuecomment-27174608 https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/104#issuecomment-27174608].
 
And with GitHub in general:
 
* As the new Google Code it too might disappear.
* Hard to find new standards-related activities as people tend to put them in private and/or personal repositories.
* Notification system is unclear.

All WHATWG standards are hosted on GitHub. A lot of the discussion takes place there too.

Makefile

To run the standard's Makefile (i.e. to run "make" in your terminal) you need to have whatwg/xref in the same parent directory as the repository of your standard (e.g. whatwg/dom). In addition you need to have installed Anolis (ms2ger/anolis).

Issues

As the new Google Code it too might disappear. Fortunately the standards themselves will survive if this happens.
