maybe searching issues and pull requests is ok.
The problem is that in statsmodels we did a lot of commits without
pull requests, and I'm not very good searching in git either.
(I don't remember which change I looked for but I got lost for half an
hour searching for a change with git and github until I had to ask
Skipper, who found it immediately.)

What I was used to is integrated search without extra work, like this
http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/search?q=mannwhitney
and I had pretty much all the discussion to the history of a function.

scipy.stats is easy too search because the function names are good search terms.

scipy pull request don't have a search facility, as far as I was able
to figure out, because the issues are not enabled, so I cannot check
how good it would be.
