To be honest, I find it a bad thing that many projects (I'm looking at
GitHub here (*)) only have a web interface, that require registration
(and often have terms of service I would consider criminal). Then there
are multiple web sites requiring registration that I need to keep track
of.
(*) Ok, GitHub has e-mail notifications. But I can't directly reply to them,
I need to go to the web interface. At least, that was the case N years ago.
I like being able to perform all asynchronuous communication via e-mail,
instead of via a dozen platforms. With e-mail, you get signing ‘for free’,
while with $PLATFORMS, you need to rely on each $PLATFORM infrastructure
or resort to ...
(my intepretation of your words, out of context, with encryption replaced with
signing)

Not relevant for our purposes. Issues are public. Only PGP for signing is
relevant here. Also, PGP + Evolution works just fine for me, and evolution
doesn't download external attachements by default.

I couldn't parse this. What does ‘they are exist by names but does nothing’
mean?

Guix' bug tracking software is ‘GNU Bug Tracker’. You could ask it on
that project's mailing lists. Now I see you did that already:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-debbugs/2021-04/msg00000.html>.
I don't have anything else to say on this topic; I'm not sending further
replies.
