Notify maintainers when bug referenced in code has changed status

Problem to solve

In GNOME (and I suspect elsewhere) when working around issues we'll leave a comment with a link to the corresponding bug. It would be excellent if the maintainers of a project could get a pingback when the referenced bug has changed.

Obviously this is easier when the bugs are within the same gitlab realm, and that is likely the extent for which I would need this feature. Although, I could definitely see a value to being able to reference freedesktop.org's gitlab from GNOME's gitlab.
