A quick check of available packages using M-x package-list-packages
provides the following possible candidates you could try. You may need
to use multple packages depending on what you need. 

Note that I have package.el configured to use melpa and melpa stable as
well as the GNU and non-GNU ELPAs. I have not tried anyu of these
packages, so no idea how well they work or how well they work with
emacspeak. I do have package.el configured so taht it lists stable
versions of melpa packages before newer, possibly less stable versions
from melpa. 

Note also that github does have its own API, so you could
'roll your own'. There are a number of elisp packages to make
interacting with the github API easier/higher level e.g. ghub and ghub+
packages.

I have also on occasion used plain old eww with some success (depending on 
what
you really want).

Magithub is a Magit-based interface to GitHub.

Integrated into Magit workflows, Magithub lets you interact with
your GitHub repositories and manage your work/play from emacs:

 - push brand-new local repositories up to GitHub
 - create forks of existing repositories
 - submit pull requests upstream
 - view and create issues
 - view, create, and edit comments
 - view status checks (e.g., Travis CI)
 - manage labels and assignees
 - view/visit notifications
 - write personal notes on issues for reference later
 - and probably more...

Press `H' in the status buffer to get started -- happy hacking!
