Atlassian is the developer of a quite nice bug tracking system called
JIRA. Maybe they have been applying their expertise to bitbucket's
collaborative systems. The issue tracker is definitely a lot better than
github's issue tracker.

I find github to be a lot faster than bitbucket, for some reason, though
maybe it's some consequence of being in Singapore.

The main thing that github "does better" is probably to have a userbase
about ten times the size of bitbucket, which means it's much more likely
to find your current collaborators already on github than to find them
already on bitbucket, and the same for discovering potential new
collaborators.

Another feature of github that I really notice to be missing on
bitbucket is the network graph. Take a look at, for example,
http://github.com/sagemath/sagenb/network/ . Nothing like this seems to
exist on bitbucket, and it's really useful for keeping an eye on what
other people are doing on the codebase.

There are also various other minor wins for github, such as the ability
to use reStructuredText on your wiki pages.
