    Note that if you just want to provide a issue tracker within Git rather than relying on centralized web services like Github or Gitlab, there is

    https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug

    https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue

    https://sciit.gitlab.io/sciit/ (this one has a list of alternatives here https://sciit.gitlab.io/sciit/#other-distributed-issue-track...)

    Overall it's very disappointing that Github didn't decide to embed issue tracking (and also PR discussions) inside the repository (in another branch perhaps). Issue discussion is part of documentation IMO, and not distributing it alongside the repository causes lock-in

    A quick search for 'issue tracker stored in git repository' brings up this Stackoverflow post, which points to git-bug and git-issue. Those look closer to what you're asking for, thought I haven't used them.

    I think he meant just the network effects of a social platform. Github has more people in them so there are more people interacting with repositories hosted on Github.

    I wish that somehow people carried identity across Github / Gitlab / Gitea / other services. Like, a federated issue tracker. Or otherwise that the issues themselves were easily movable between platforms, with no lock-in. But the incumbent platforms rarely want something like this.

    An alternative is to eschew platform issues entirely, and use decentralized issue comments hosted as Git repositories, like https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue or https://github.com/neithernut/git-dit or https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug - I think that Gitlab should offer integration with one of them. I mean: both allowing to export issues and PRs into a Git branch, and allowing people to comment on issues and PRs by pushing to a Git branch.

    git-bug, the one mentioned in the article here, has some documentation on its README of how well its importer/exporter tools support Github, Gitlab, Jira, and Launchpad: https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug

    Most of the other such tools I've seen barely have the resources to import/export a single such API. git-issue only has Github import it looks like. https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue

    There's perceval which is designed to be a generic archival tool and supports lots of APIs, but only dumps them to source-specific formats and would still need a lot of work if you tried to use issues from different APIs together: https://github.com/chaoss/grimoirelab-perceval
