Missing features on Github

After some years enjoying github awesomeness, heres what i miss most. Add your comments :)

Id love to use github for agile project management so issues are very important to me :)

Repositories :

• Ability to choose a licence type for each project, with auto-generated licence. (see mit-licence.org)
• Ability to tag my own repositories and tags others too for my own usage
• A real dashboard, that aggregates activity by tags and projects
• A project activity indicator based on recents commits, open issues, PR opened/closed ratio...
• A way to distinguish the most active fork in a project
• Archive repository (not maintained anymore projects)
• Add social info for the owner/organisation : twitter/g+/linkedin/speakerdeck...
• A Google group like or forum about a particular project

Downloads :

Infortunately, downloads have been removed :/

The download page is very basic

• Ability to rename/add a note to a download (after upload)
• Dedicated git repo as for the wiki ?
• Real file browser
• Drag&Drop files
• Delete multiples files at once

Issues :

• Ability to star issues (eg: issues id like to resolve)
• A way to prioritize issues and sort by priority :)
• When listing issues by assignee, please add a milestone indicator
• Prevent page refresh while editing !!
• Prevent co-editing an issue comment (or version/history it)
• Prevent editing another author comment/issue
• Comment re-edition : please : preview mode, emoji/logins completion..
• Better downloads/file attachments/images for issues
• Image/File drag'n'drop

About gists :

• Tagging too
• Same text editor as github please !
• Same header as github please :)
• Something to preview HTML based gists like http://gistview.github.com (from @gozala) or jsfiddle, jsbin...
• Line anchors !
• Better gist GIT url clipboard copy

+100000000 for "A way to distinguish the most active fork in a project"

Ability to move an issue from one project to another
