The biggest difference I see between GH Issues and every other issue 
tracker I've ever seen is pre-defined fields. Labels can broadly do the 
same job, but they feel very different when managing them, composing 
search queries, and viewing search results.

The fields on the Advanced Search for bugs.php.net are currently:

* Status - GH has only "Open" and "Closed"; we'd probably want a set of 
"Status-..." labels
* Type - "Feature Request" is probably fine as a label; "Documentation 
Problem" would probably be the doc-en issue tracker, but I don't know 
how easily issues can be moved from one project to another during triage
* Project - PHP or PECL; again, possible requirement to move issues 
between projects?
* Package - as you say, this is a long and unwieldy list right now, but 
one that needs to exist in some form (i.e. re-organizing it to a smaller 
list is somewhat orthogonal to moving to a different platform)
* OS - makes sense as optional labels for "Windows-specific" etc
* PHP Version - as you mention, what to do with this depends how people 
use it (and also how reliable it is)
* CVE-ID - irrelevant if security issues are going somewhere else
* Assigned - exists in Github!
* Author email - exists in Github!
* Has patch - redundant
* Has pull request - not sure if you can search on this in Github, or if 
we'd have to add a manual label (again, this is the kind of thing a lot 
of projects maintain bots for)
* Commented by - exists in Github!
