With the mailing list we can get orphan messages. Here's an example, from
Herb Schulz.
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2021-July/047271.html

By an orphan message I mean a message related to an issue, which is not in
the same email thread as the issue.

That said, I'm not sure that Herb's message is an orphan. I can't find the
message he's quoting on the tex-live or the mac-tex lists.

Perhaps Herb is quoting in some off-list email correspondence. Either way,
I believe that with github issues we get better linkage between issues and
messages (or comments as they are called in an issue).
