This is why I discourage Free Software projects from using hosted issue trackers entirely, especially ones that are proprietary (such as GitHub). Mailing lists are the best solution for longevity and meaningful discussion. If you really need to, you can organize things in a file that is in the repository alongside the source code (Org mode is great for this), which has many significant advantages (and downsides, like not being point-click for PMs, but if your Free Software project has PMs, you have bigger problems that software cannot solve).
