We're storing as services.issues_events and services.merge_requests_events, that is issues and merge_requests are plural. However, the event name is singular like issue and merge_request. On the other hand, all other event names are all singular.

This caused that we need some special rules in a number of places, namely the view form.

gitlab-ce!5861 is an attempt to make this consistent without changing the data. However, it seems it's causing even more special rules. Please see the comment at: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/5861#note_14057068

So to solve this once and for all, we should probably rename the columns, namely use services.issue_events and service.merge_request_events then we could remove all the special rules.

This issue is created in request in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/5620#note_14081185
