Consider disabling auto-closing issues for gitlab-org/gitlab
With the gitlab-org/gitlab project, most issues we work on require verification either in Staging or Production once the code is merged.
Our Engineering Workflow already requires us to Remove the Closes #issue_id from the MR description.
Remove the Closes #issue_id from the MR description, to prevent automatically closing of the issue after merging. Be careful not to use other keywords in the MR description given the default closing pattern that can also automatically close issues.
This is often easy to forget and we see issues being closed before they have been verified.
