In my email client the threading doesn't seem to work well with github issue-emails, so I end up using the web interface most of the time. Otherwise it might work well. I had a quick look around on the internet, not many projects seem to use issues as mailing list. I only found these: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-houdini/2015Sep/0004.html https://github.com/hapijs/discuss/issues @-notifications could be quite nice. Maybe it would be best if this was tried out with a large Julia project to see the ins and outs?
