Limit related merge requests to those with a real connection
### Problem to solve <!-- What problem do we solve? --> Looking at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/2004 we can see a long list of merge requests of which many probably don’t matter but are mentioned somewhere within the chat due to various reasons. I believe the main use case of this section is to see which merge requests actually implement this issue instead of collecting all merge requests mentioned anywhere in the discussion. Additionally, this is not consistent with how the related issues section works. ![image](/uploads/39419552f85f2334916fcf217bd57968/image.png) ### Intended users <!-- Who will use this feature? If known, include any of the following: types of users (e.g. Developer), personas, or specific company roles (e.g. Release Manager). It's okay to write "Unknown" and fill this field in later. Personas can be found at https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/product-marketing/roles-personas/ --> ### Further details <!-- Include use cases, benefits, and/or goals (contributes to our vision?) --> I suspect low-hanging fruit, but might require some deeper look into it of course ### Proposal <!-- How are we going to solve the problem? Try to include the user journey! https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/journeys/#user-journey --> Limit the relation creation between issues and merge request so fewer and higher value merge requests will be listed. ### Permissions and Security <!-- What permissions are required to perform the described actions? Are they consistent with the existing permissions as documented for users, groups, and projects as appropriate? Is the proposed behavior consistent between the UI, API, and other access methods (e.g. email replies)? --> ### Documentation <!-- See the Feature Change Documentation Workflow https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/feature-change-workflow.html Add all known Documentation Requirements here, per https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/feature-change-workflow.html#documentation-requirements --> ### Testing <!-- What risks does this change pose? How might it affect the quality of the product? What additional test coverage or changes to tests will be needed? Will it require cross-browser testing? See the test engineering process for further guidelines: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/guidelines/test-engineering/ --> ### What does success look like, and how can we measure that? <!-- Define both the success metrics and acceptance criteria. Note that success metrics indicate the desired business outcomes, while acceptance criteria indicate when the solution is working correctly. If there is no way to measure success, link to an issue that will implement a way to measure this. --> ### Links / references
