Improve global issue and merge request pages and clarity of scoped results
Problem
When users land on the Issues or Merge Requests page, they typically start interacting with the filters. It isn’t clear to them from the list alone which issues/merge requests are assigned to them and which have been created by them. The only filter which is pre-populated is ‘Assignee’. One user commented that he wanted the ‘Author’ filter to state ‘All’ as that’s what the list was showing him by default - issues/merge requests by all authors.
