And it does not actually work. - github supports editing issues but edits are not sent, only initial posting - AFAIK github does not support replying through mail - github might have an API but how many MUAS support importing github issues from gihub? The API for mailing list archives called 'download mailbox' is widely supported by MUAS which means you can read the archived questions and answers locally in your MUA if the archive website accessibility, search, or other features are not to your liking.
