Make the `closes #xx` option configurable

Make the Closes #xx option configuratable

For some business flows you may need to keep an issue open after merging the MR.

For example if you have the tasks Deployed to site A and Deploy to site B which will be finished after the release (with the code merged) has been created.

Target audience

Release Manager?

Proposal

• We could just add a checkbox to the merge-request from Auto close? or make this project-wide configurable.

• Or we just check if a checklist inside the issue is complete. And only when all boxes are checked we going to close the issue when the MR is accepted.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
