You are right. ... There is a possibility for "global" e-mail address. BUT 
we would need to find a way to effectively deal with spam.

That's exactly the point I wanted to make. ... BUT as written above I did 
configure it in a way, so I (me alone) don't need to deal with spam. ... 
That's all. 

If someone else wants to deal with spam I'm happy to assign a global e-mail 
address, that forwards to the volunteer. - "Null problemo ;)"

have fun!

Honestly, I don’t understand the meaning of a feature request open in 
email: if I need to log in to find out the email address where I need to 
send the request, why not use the GitLab interface? In addition (if I'm 
guessing correctly) you can create a template for GitLab feature requests, 
where the structure of the request is predefined, and the user only needs 
to fill in the appropriate sections.

I would only find this mechanism beneficial if the landing page had a 
"Contact us" form that would not send the email to a mailbox but would open 
a feature request for it so the visitor would not have to register for 
GitLab, to be able to submit a request.
