Title: Subcommand: Issues

While discussing implementing a trial of the branching model we are looking to involve our QA team to sign-off on issues, and to have the infrastructure/release managers to have an easier time backing out releases. This is leading us to not perform any actual development on the `develop` branch, but rather treat it as an integration point.

The easiest way we thought to do this was to open up a command that allowed for managing issues directly in the repository. Once they are published they would be "finished" by the testers to officially sign off on the feature and this would trigger a merge into the integration branch. Once integration was at at stable point a release branch could be cut, and that would be on the bus to production.
