Jeremy Dziergwa (ID: 000000b81f8dce44) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/09/2019 So useful, gitlab definitely needed an "unclosed thread" count on the mr listing, that's the basics ! And since installed, no more merge request sitting the entire sprint, the guys instantly know when they're responsible for this :D
