With issues gathering on bitbucket, I'd like to have a way to gather and back them up in the event that I need an offline copy, or no longer use Bitbucket, or something else. The site doesn't offer this service. Is there an alternative mechanism I can use?

Full disclosure I am the author of Issue2Markdown because I really needed it.
As mentioned previously you can export your issues from Bitbucket project by going to Settings->Issues->Import & Export and then downloading the resultant ZIP file.
Inside that ZIP file, you will find JSON file and attachments archive. You can import those into some other issue repository. Or if you are like me you may be working with a remote team that is reluctant to use an issue tracker and would like to be able to read a human-readable version of the issues.
That is where Issue2Markdown comes in. You can use that to render your issues as a single Markdown document. You can find pre-built binaries for Linux, Windows, and MacOS under releases.
I hope that helps the next person who could not find the solution.
