Currently, issue defaults to the golang/go repo and there exists no way to change this. This means those using issue and not working on that repo must frequently supply a -p user/repo. I think it would be nice if issue was a little "smarter" about the repo I'm interested in and so I propose adding smarter defaults using the following rules, each overriding the next:

• issue commands use -p if supplied
• issue commands default to git config github.issue.repo.always if supplied
• issue commands default to the origin repo if supplied and its host is github
• issue commands default to git config github.issue.repo if supplied
• issue commands default to golang/go if none of the above are satisfied.

I'm not married to the git config names.
