The rails-dev mailing list is set up in such a way: every post on Github
is automatically replicated there, keeping that public archive. As
repository owner could easily set up exactly the same scenario.

https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/rails-dev/

Other than that you can add yourself as "Watcher" to the repository and
automatically receive any updates.

...and fails on the most important aspect of issue fixing: it does not
communicate any kind of status, e.g. if you mark an email in your email
client as "done", nobody else will know.

With more than a couple of issues to manage or a team size > 1, this
quickly becomes unwieldy and difficult to manage.
