Glad to see a [PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-github/pull/6) recently added to use the GitHub API for badges thanks to @Osama.

I know that previously @codinghorror [has said that issue linkback support won’t be added as Discourse doesn’t use GitHub issues](https://meta.discourse.org/t/deprecated-the-github-linkback-plugin/66081/25) but we at Home Assistant do with no plans to migrate away from GitHub issues anytime soon (no matter how much we love Discourse!). **Would a PR be accepted if I submitted one to enable linkbacks for issues too?** I’d be more than happy to make it opt in via a setting.
