title: How do I get notifications on new GitHub issues?
body: <p>Right now, I miss quite some issues for my project hosted on GitHub. I am looking for a way which tells me of new issues. E-Mail would be fine, but those are only sent if I participated in a specific issue. IRC is also an option.</p>
  
  <p>For both email and IRC, google spit out nothing helpful. Is this really not possible?</p>
