| Description | Get Mantis integrated with GitLab, so that commit messages automatically can close issues, and so that issues can officially (through process) become the clearer documentation of commit messages.
Mantis apparently has this functionality available in a plugin [edit: it does for GitHub, not sure about GitLab]. We'll need to upgrade Mantis first, most likely. |

Comments
1) Commits may need further review first
2) ... especially if commits are being done in merge requests, it's not clear if/how/when the tracker should be updated
3) The push_bugfix script we have now does a good job of keeping Mantis and GitLab integrated for day-to-day bug fixes pushed directly
4) It's another point of failure (maybe the integration will break and nobody will know how to fix it / it may be abandoned)
I do see value in an integration, but I don't think the pros outweigh the cons.
