I'm playing around with SourceHut a bit lately (https://sourcehut.org),
and it supports adding tickets without an existing account via mail, and
for import you can create tickets through its API with an arbitrary
external_id, which could just be an email address. It wouldn't
automatically notify these external_id's on new comments, but the
code[1] looks simple enough that adding such a feature doesn't seem
hard. SourceHut has other things going for it, like its web-interface
not needing JavaScript and the code being AGPLv3 licensed. However, it's
still in alpha and hence not ready for a project like Emacs yet. Also,
it is not a GitHub clone, so people may argue we'd just be switching
from one exotic to system to another.

I dimly remember spam in debbugs being pretty bad ~10 years ago or
so. Something has happened then, but I also don't know what...
