Is the issue trackers content accessible somehow through the git repository? I thought only the code is checked in to git.

Which is not a standard, that's just how GitHub implemented their own ticketing system; a lightweight Jira.
Therefore it's not part of the repository itself. If you clone/fork the repository, you don't get the issues with it.
The link only exists in GitHub's database.
