I am not sure to understand.  Something that generates HTML that works
well with simpler web browsers is <https://debbugs.gnu.org>, isn't it?
From what I understand, the aim (and "raison d'étre) of
<issues.guix.gnu.org> is to generate what is considered as "modern
webapp".

Therefore, what is the concrete request?

 - read the Debbugs with a simple web browser?  Then the answer is
<debbugs.gnu.org>.
 - add a button in <issues.gnu.org> saying "simple html there" and
redirecting to <debbugs.gnu.org>?  If yes, the source code to tweak is
there <https://git.elephly.net/gitweb.cgi?p=software/mumi.git> and I
agree it would be quite easy; I will give a try if no one beats me.
:-)

All the best,
simon
