Add a system note when the issue/merge request description is edited

Description

Currently, editing an issue and a merge request is a completely silent operation that does not appear in the discussion flow of the issue/MR, therefore people coming back aren't notified that something moved unless they have memorized the previous content precisely and bother to process a diff in their head.

Proposal

  • Add a system note when someone edits the description of the issue/merge request: image
  • Complete the “Edited…” message under the issue/merge request description with the author of the changes: image
  • This event/system note does not send a notification email. (Users can leave a comment after editing the description if they feel it's necessary to send a notification to the subscribers.)
