This makes some sense in the context of an "internal" system with
"internal" customers/peers.
With external customers, one's ability to set policy is a bit more
limited. They can buy service and support from somebody else if they
don't like your policies.
Even with internal customers, it might be better to pick a ticket system
that allows users to interact entirely through email than to spend
political capital on enforcing a policy.
