There are a number of tests for specific issue numbers in Nim/tests to prove that an issue was resolved and to guard against regressions. Would it make sense to make such a test mandatory for reporting technical issues? They could get their own issues directory where all tests are expected to fail. Solved issues would become visible by their "test" failing to fail, they would then be moved to Nim/tests. Upside: issue reporters would have to provide technically valid demo code which would become a regression guard later. Downside: a higher threshold for reporting issues.
