+ [2017-03-16T17:02:02Z] kbs I don't think there's a way for github to automatically know what a dev is working on, without them explicitly indicating it in one way or another on the github site itself. (as you say, either marking an issue as a WIP, or submitting a pull request.)
+ [2017-03-16T17:03:10Z] kbs I suppose in theory you could ask them to add a hook to their local branches that could script out some convenient indicator of their activity, but fundamentally git is distributed - so "local" work isn't visible externally.

+ [2017-03-16T17:29:00Z] kbs np, good luck
