I, for one, still semi-regularly have to go back to the issue tracker on the PEAR site to dig up the reasoning/motivation for decisions taken long ago for an old codebase, where the commit messages, especially for older commits, are not great. Not being able to do so anymore would definitely have some impact on the work being done on that codebase.

Probably that means setting up a read-only mirror somewhere and pointing the DNS at it so that clients don't break overnight.Perhaps it would make sense to disable editing old and adding new proposals, and remove the spam.
