I think so.  I hope we will also consider the capacity for separate

But isn't it discouraged in debbugs?

What if there was a hypothetical bug report that actually had a multiple
number of things to address, but was only being reported under the original
"bug" that the user reported on? That'd still be a good reason to be able
to discuss #bugnum, #bugnum-feature1, #bugnum-feature2 and so on. I'm
assuming that this is what debbugs is "discouraging"?
Yup. It feels "illegal" to open side discussions out of debbugs email
threads. Though, on the second thought, nothing should stop users from
branching off the thread into emacs-devel while dropping debbugs
address.

The common approach is modern trackers is to create a new issue# for every sub-discussion, and leave a link to it in the parent one.
