I would personally go with CodersCrowd for that matter of issue tracking. Not only you can attach all versions of Bioconductor, but you can offer the user to reproduce the bug to the community and avoid the same message and code being lost in the archive high stack , CodersCrowd trace all bug fixes steps and besides it offers to run bioconductor directly on the browser with no dependencies problem, thanks to Docker containers (http://blog.coderscrowd.com/runnable-gists/)
