Extended user centric tooltips

Overview

We are working on a ~"product discovery" in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/49090. This issue serves as implementation issue of the final design.

Solution

We're aiming to give better context to our users without necessarily opening and reading the content of other pages. To do that, we'll introduce an extended, user-centric user tooltip with the following information:

  • Full name
  • Username
  • Company
  • Location
  • Status emoji and message

The following is what we could do without adding dedicated fields for job title and timezone, although I would really like to see these. It's not only useful to people working remotely, but also to large companies that are distributed globally.
