An idea I had the other day, and this is for dealing with data compartmentation in games, was to write a game in C and use sqlite for all the data.

It seems to me it might overly complicate things to build the issue tracker into a mail system or into git. The core functionality of tracking issues can be implemented in a meta-language. For instance, you have one file per issue, and the issue files would look something like this. [timestamp]
