MAINT: numpy 1.5.x compat: work around changed behavior of casting functions.

In 1.5.x the result of the last line gives a problem::

    >>> datsp.dtype == np.dtype('int32')
    True
    >>> np.issubdtype(np.dtype('int32'), np.int_)
    True
    >>> np.issubdtype(datsp.dtype, np.int_)
    False

Also, in 1.5.x this happens:

    >>> np.find_common_type([np.bool, np.bool], [])
    dtype('int8')

Result from 1.6.x is dtype('bool').
Update MAINTAINERS.rst.txt links on modules issues

Following this idea:

http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-dev/2013-August/019040.html

I updtated the links so they point to the new GitHub issues tracker, instead of the old Trac.

I could not replace the RSS feed links because I could not find a direct equivalent on GitHub. I don't know if keeping them it's worth it - maybe the sooner all the references to Trac disappear, the better.
