The title is slightly misleading – neither does Debian primarily use ‘mailing lists’ to report/manage bugs, nor does it not have an issue tracker. debbugs is operated by email, yes, but it also has a (read-only) web interface and is pretty much by definition an issue tracker, uploads to the Debian archive, e.g., can be ‘tagged’ as closing particular bugs.
