Updating the repo regularly would be a good start. All the repos that are
on github at the moment are outdated.
Maybe, but I'm not sure it will help us move up the search results.

I have no idea who that user belongs to, but yes, this would be best.
Ah, that doesn't sound so good. We'de better clear that up.

Could those two be simply disabled, pointing the users to our Trac?
Issues can be disabled. Pull requests can't. We can make a bot closing any new
pull requests with a polite redirection to the maillist. Yet, a refusal to
accept a contribution is still a refusal.
The only problem I'm trying to solve is user searching for source
on
github, not finding it and giving up completely.
I don't have any hard data, but I suspect this is becoming more and more
common. Especially after Google Code Search and Google Code shut down.
Yeah, this might be a bit of a problem.
