In terms of code, basically every `git clone` living on people's machine is already a backup, and it includes all branches (try running `git branch -a` for example).
Regarding issues, pull requests etc, GitHub has a REST API which you can use for that. If you for example want the issues reported on
https://www.github.com/ros/ros, you can simply do `curl -i
https://api.github.com/repos/ros/ros/issues`. For getting a list of forks, do `curl -i
https://api.github.com/repos/ros/ros/forks`.
Maybe this could be integrated with ROS.org's "browse software" or the wiki for each package (e.g. show branches, list issues).
