To export Issues (see also: #132), one could loop over all Issues and write the output into a file.

However, when there are comments, tea issue ls asks if you want to see them (? show comments? [Y/n]).

Maybe there can be an env variable or command line flag to show all comments by default so you can pipe tea's output into a file.

I suggest --show-all-comments or short form tea issue ls -a NUMBER or tea issue ls -c NUMBER.

This is actually possible already:

tea issue --comments 403

note that this is argument order sensitive.

It looks like your use case is pdf summary generation; when you get a pipeline working without #132, would be nice to share it, I'm interested!

The above suggestion still only fetches a single page (as specified via --page and --limit), all comments is not supported currently; so we can leave this issue open as enhancement.
A workaround covering ~ >98% of real world issues would probably be

tea issue --comments --limit 100 <idx>

Alternative title: Add --all flag (item listings + issue comments)
