I somewhat like the idea of being able to submit issues via email directly. It does cost on spam classification and prevention, though. An account is easily classifiable as an additional confidence metric. E-Mail, not so much, or with significantly more complexity in relating data and ensuring continuity of source.
An account is a very obvious way to build a reremovedtion. If you see a new GitHub account submitting a PR vs someone having contributed for a long time and significant projects in the same technology, you may approach the reviews quite differently. It is, at least, a very useful and simple way to classify authors and patch submitters.
What does SourceHut provide in this aspect? To what degree does it verify incoming emails authenticity, sender source, and continuity of source hoster? To what degree does it relate information by email address? I assume it does not.
