Yes, we have a single tickets repo seperate from the code, and use GitHub projects collect tickets from multiple repos into one board.

Team of 8 devs + other supporting roles. Devs are happy with it, PM and portfolio management not so much, as you loose a lot and GitHub projects is still fairly new.

Why did we do this? We were acquired and the new corporate has different ideas and we lost Jira. Project managers end up manually syncing status of epic tickets between GitHub and their project management tools. We make it work, but much more labour intensive the Jira+Jira Portfolio
