I don't know about any such tool.

I'd suggest to not at any new entries in these trackers, but let them
persist until the issues are resolved.

Yes: log in; point to {tasks, patches, ... } -> Set Permissions; there
you can set that only project members can create new {tasks, patches,
... }.  That's as tight as is possible currently, but your project
members should know what they're doing.
