feature: ls dump issues as plaintext (markdown/org-mode) #392

Description

@karlicoss

Basically a command like git bug dump that would dump the issues rendered as a single markdown/org-mode file (or a directory of files). This would allow to instantly search in issues within the IDE without having to switch to the terminal/web UI.

Previously I was using org-sync for this, but just discovered git bug, and it seems way more mature and reasonable :)

Format is not super important, IMO just merely having it as text gives you 90% of the benefits regardless the format, but:

  • markdown would be easier to support natively since github uses it
  • org-mode is kinda nice because you can use map github's tags and states (open/closed).

Possible future improvements:

  • dump plaintext automatically on git bug bridge pull
  • allow two way sync, i.e. modifying comments, adding new issues by adding new entries to text files... but that seems hard and maybe not worth it

Possibly related to:

Let me know if you think it makes sense, and if you have any thoughts on possible implementation, I would be happy to contribute. And thanks for this awesome tool :)
