In an ideal world, the Issues team would develop and support a plugin ecosystem for the tracker. Users can customize and add the features they see fit and even create their own custom plugins. Allows flexibility and power for those who want it while keeping the core simple and clean

This is the best idea.

While some features like +1s and contributing guidelines should be baked in, other features like extra fields, requiring people to sign a disclosure, etc would be best left to plugins that can hook into issues much like CI services hook into pull requests.
