It needs re-generation of the whole repo which is a bit slow, but it's 
reproducible and ends up with the same hashes, so in principle we can 
update later on.

It doesn't at the moment. There are some plugins, though:

http://github.com/davglass/github-trac/
http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GitPlugin/

However, I'm not sure if we really need anything else than a way to link 
to commits in bug reports (which can be done by pasting URLs anyway). I'd 
prefer to keep maintenance overhead low, and just use Github's source 
browser and timeline utilities.

Yes, Github can AFAIK be configured to send emails to a given address. 
However, I guess the Numpy list must be configured to accept mails from 
Github.
