I think you summarised the challenges very well and I don’t think there is an
obvious answer to that.

I’d just like to offer any help that I or we (Atlassian) could give you. Given
your experience with JIRA I’m sure that you’ve got everything covered, but if
you need anything, please ping me.

Re-reading the old discussions there was a concern that the issue data was not
available, I just wanted to chime in and mention that if you are using a JIRA
OnDemand (e.g. the https://git-scm.atlassian.net) instance you can get the full
backup of your data (including any attachments, data available as XML) and
there is a JIRA REST API as well.

I know that this is just a very tangential concern given the challenges of
making an issue tracker work with an email based workflow that has proven quite
successful but I at least wanted to address that and offer any help you might
need.


Cheers,
Stefan
