Custom search fields for VLC
The second part is the bugtracker/issues tracker. We use trac for VLC, and we want to leave it for something better; but gitlab issues is way too limited, even when using the templates. Especially, it seems to be impossible to add custom searchable fields (like "platforms", "priority" or "modules") which are very very useful to do queries. Also, there is no way to do custom queries and store them ("I want all the bugs for Windows, which are related to the interface modules").
You can add custom labels on issues and the searches can be stored in urls that you can bookmark and use in links. You might have considered this already and need more functionality. Maybe it is best to discuss this in an issue.
