Hmm... That's an interesting idea!
You could do that on a separate (empty) branch. Maybe call it `__project`, and you could just have folders of markdown files. You could have two root folders for `issues/` and 'pull_requests/', and two subfolders in each for `./open/` and `./closed/`. And a simple command-line tool + web UI. You could just edit the file to add a comment.
It would be really nice to have a history and backup of all of your issues. I also like the fact that you could create or edit issues offline.
Then you could also set up a 2-way sync between your repo and GitLab / GitHub / Trello.
That sort of "inline" issue tracking is a thing. I think Bugs Everywhere[1] is one of the more mature systems based on the idea. There are several others too[2], most of them unmaintained. There are also wiki-style systems based on the same idea.
