Allow multiple open merge requests from same source and target branch
Problem to solve
There is a current limitation within GitLab preventing multiple open Merge Requests from the same source branch. In many cases it doesn't make sense to allow multiple MRs from the same source since both would be attempts at merging the same commits, however as a product, GitLab provides a lot of functionality on top of Source Control that could benefit from separation.
Intended users
Possible usecases
As a user, I want to keep reviews and discussions on the same code diff separate and isolated between teams

Testing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Users are allowed to open multiple MRs to separate discussion or dismissal from a given source branch.
