I don't know any supported method for this either.

I never delete any email, just archive them ;)

So, I have some history of the issue, but unfortunately without: my
comments (if any) and without metadata (labels, milestone etc).
As recently I've got some experience with github API, maybe I should
archive all issues changes (in more structured format than emails)?

As for this issue - this may be related to the fact that author of this
issue (desmond-decker) is also gone. This have happened before:
