Both Debbugs and other newer bug trackers keep the history of older 
comments in their database.

So it's not really an issue of someone being forced to keep email 
archives forever: we can read the older threads on the web too.

The problem you are discussing it the difference between flat and 
threaded email conversations' display. Neither is objectively better 
than the other (only better for particular workflows), so this can 
create a tension.

I wonder how projects like Mesa (that previously used an email-only 
workflow but now use Gitlab too) went about resolving that.
