SourceHut[1]'s todo tracker [2] satisfies this exactly, allowing
anonymous users (identified simply by their e-mail) to comment on
issues, with fine-grained permission control available.  Repositories,
mailing lists, and issue trackers work independently, can be tied
together using integrations, and can be housed under a single name using
projects.  It's probably too late to migrate to it from GitLab, but I
suggest you at least take a look and experiment a bit.  It's completely
free and open-source software, and anybody can host their own instance.
