Background

Currently, when a commit mentions a GitLab issue (Refs #xxxx) on the respective issue page (https://gitlab.com/zzzzzzz/-/issues/xxxx) is displayed as

John Doe mentioned in commit yyyyy@737430e3 4 days ago
John Doe mentioned in commit yyyyy@466a0410 4 days ago
John Doe mentioned in commit yyyyy@eb3e9051 4 days ago
John Doe mentioned in commit yyyyy@48f26921 3 days ago

If a commit mentions a GitLab issue as Fixed #xxxx, then the commit is not mentioned at all. It just shows a closure notice without even a link to the commit:

John Doe closed 3 days ago

Proposal

For all commits that mention an issue, regardless of if it's Refs, Fixes or anything else, the commit headline should be displayed:

John Doe mentioned in commit "Data structures for implementing feature A" 4 days ago
John Doe mentioned in commit "Backend support for feature A" 4 days ago
John Doe mentioned in commit "Frontend support for feature A" 4 days ago
John Doe mentioned in commit "Enable feature A in staging" 3 days ago

The closure commit could be displayed as

John Doe closed the issue with commit "Enable feature A in production" 3 days ago

Why is it important? Currently, if a user is looking for a specific commit related to an issue, they have to open each of the referencing commits. It's a big inconvenience and waste of time.

This feature should be easy to implement, but significantly improve usability of the product.
