I don’t know which email client you use, but they usually have an option to sort messages by thread -- this is how I handle my git folder with Thunderbird; it takes one click to switch from plain view to threaded view, and two to isolate a specific thread. public-inbox.org also does this. Some don’t though, and gmail specifically has weird opinions on which message is part of which thread.
On the other hand, I don’t really like non-threaded means of communication, and I am very confused as to why modern services neglect this feature -- there may be a good reason, I’m not an expert in human-computer interaction :). But personally, I find it very hard to follow issues on github (or even IRC logs, for that matter) when there is more than 2 people involved.
