Create issue via email

[MartinDelille]

Another Gitlab EE feature that would be nice to have in Gitea: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/incoming_email.html

This feature is blocking the service desk feature: #6219

I'd deploy is as a separate unit, and just create a support for creaing issues via API. Rationale is there can be a lot of sources to create an issue, and coupling the gitea with email recieving functionality seems unnesessarily specific. Consuming emails is a tricky thing, and it worth being a separate unit - maybe there is something we could utilize already.
Altough, I'm new here and I don't know how things are done.

As can be seen in the timeline, Gitea does now handle incoming emails. Though currently with the restriction "existing users replying to existing issues".

But it does mean it's now a much smaller step towards also accepting messages from addresses that don't belong to a registered user, and to have a repository-wide address that creates new issues/pull requests when messaged.

Running a single-user instance where I would like to be able to accept contributions without having to deal with registered users, I would love to see this.
