At the moment, the best solution is to subscribe to typing-sig, watch
the weekly summary and subscribe to individual issues one is interested
in. Should we add this to typing's README?

That's pretty suboptimal for me. I don't like having a week delay before seeing that an issue exists. If we had picked a solution that involved a new repo (repos are cheap these days) I could just monitor that repo and comment in near-real time (during my waking hours anyways :-).

I don't think there is built-in functionality in GitHub to do that,
unfortunately. (A huge oversight, in my opinion.) I have briefly looked
at it and there are some solutions, but this would require a bit more
work. One solution is
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/issue-label-notifier, which I
could set up and then possibly add a way for people to
subscribe/unsubscribe. If there is interest, I could look into this further.

Yes, please.
