I like the alternative interface for managing issues, and it is nice that I could use this for some public repos that get a lot of issues and pull requests.
One nice enhancement would be a simple toggle for hiding labels with no issues.
The lightbox approach to presenting an issue seemed a little funky - mostly in that it just feels like it is not a "real" part of the interface since it is shown in a small column. I also noticed some issues with URLs overflowing the lightbox.
Speaking of GitHub Issues - the biggest, simple change I can imagine GitHub making to Issues is allow repository owners to add a small readme to the New Issue page. It would help a lot in explaining what a good bug report looks like and where else to get help.
For the readme on new issues, I think it is automated by simply adding a 'CONTRIBUTING[.md|.rst|.txt]' to you repository. You can see this happening for celery (https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/new)
Really cool, but it seems I don't have authorization to manage the issues of someone else's repo on which I am a collaborator. Maybe just a limitation of Github's api?
Sprintly also has awesome Github integration, but they are explicitly NOT a front-end for Github Issues, so works best with private repos for larger teams (imho). They integrate well with Github, not necessarily Github Issues (a slight, but key difference).

As for the lightbox part, there's indeed a bit more work in representing the content of the issues.
