Actually it does exactly that (whitelisted IP doing rsync), ever since
The Indicident.  I used to just fetch all mbox files for all Guix bugs,
but this put the Debbugs servers under excessive load.  After the
server’s IP was blocked from accessing Debbugs we negotiated rsync
access.

We do have full text search on issues.guix.gnu.org.  It was brought to
my attention that it’s not yielding expected results since a while,
though, so this would have to be investigated.
