Very nice explanation of benefit of using GitHub Issues. I use it in all of my repos, even those where I'm the only contributor. It is a good way of documenting why you added a feature, etc. If you use in combination with pull requests, linking to related issues, you can also document how and when something was fixed.

If you haven't checked out GitHub's Projects, it is worth looking at. You can organize Issues and PRs for multiple repositories in one place. Very useful if you are working on something involving multiple repositories.
