Group level issues

Description

Currently, our company mainly uses JIRA for issue management. However, our code is hosted in a gitlab instance, and we would like to move our issues to gitlab as well so we can have better integration.

However, we have a product that consists of several services, which are all independent repositories, put together in one group. Often we have features in our tracker that touch several of our different services (for example, both the api and the websocket server). In JIRA we would just tag the issue to identify which services in the product would probably be touched by the feature.

In gitlab, we can only create project-specific issues. So issues and features that touch different parts of our system currently have to be reported on each seperate repository, or we would have to create a separate project repository just to contain issues.

Proposal

Allow projects in a group to share their list of issues, instead of having a list of issues per project.
