Guix runs a web based issue tracker on top of debbugs that looks quite
nice:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/
  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/37855

The software for the web UI is here:
  https://git.elephly.net/software/mumi.git

It doesn't allow for replying via the web UI, but navigating as a user
is much nicer.  Maybe it will make some people happier?
