Bug#910541: diffoscope: filing bugs on diffoscope is cumbersome for non-Debian contributors

Package: diffoscope
Severity: important

Hi,

I just gave a small presentation about diffoscope at the mirage.io
hackretreat (which was well received) which resulted in people
wanting to file bugs against diffoscope, which turned out to be "complicated":

- the project on salsa has issues disabled (but would require a login on
  salsa anyway), still filing bugs in a webbrowser is something many
  people want to do today, so I think maybe we should enable issues?
- the link "Bugs and feature requests" on https://diffoscope.org just
  points to https://bugs.debian.org/src:diffoscope - this is helpful for
  Debian developers but hardly for anyone else.
- there is still https://github.com/ReproducibleBuilds but thats empty, 
  so noone could file issues there.

I've got no good idea how to fix this best, but I wanted to at least
document this so we can come up with something better. It's unfortunate
to say 'please file bugs' and then...

cheers,
	Holger
