One caveat with this method is that your source control system evolves and things get archived. Code is around forever but everything around it may change.
10 or 20 years from now your code may still be running, the issue system or the git commit log may not be.

I am fiercely protective of my issue tracker and source history for exactly that reason. I have tools that can grab a full backup should I ever switch to something else: https://datasette.io/tools/github-to-sqlite
