Description

I've been checking out the GitLab Notes API and I've found that there's some methods that I feel is missing.

I would love to see methods for getting notes posted by the current user. For example, I can post notes with my current access token, but if I later want to update it, there's no easy way for me to find that note I made, since I only have a token on my side. I can fetch all notes of the specific issue or merge request, but that is first of all unnecessary data, and also I obviously only get the user name and user ID, which I don't really have (I only have my access token).

Ideas? Thoughts? Have I missed something?

Proposal

Add separate API methods for getting notes of issues, merge requests and snippets, posted by the current access token.

Use cases

See jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin#575
