organizing github issues
 

Hey, guys.

My company uses Github to manage our software development, and I am the interim product manager (we're trying to replace me ASAP, but during the time being, I am the point man).

We now have 150 issues on Github, and I seek to prioritize them based on importance and degree of difficulty.

Github to Excel scripts are an obvious solution (in spite of taking us back in time), but neither myself nor my Chinese colleagues have any clue about how to use them.

I'm posting this here rather than in a tech forum because I don't think you guys will flame me.

Comments or PMs are most appreciated.

I'd look into using tags: they work largely the same way as labels in Gmail, so you could easily sort issues into priority/difficulty categories this way. A rudimentary approach might look something like:

You can then easily sort combinations of these to view the desired issues. Github explains some of this here.
