Wow, thanks Allen for the clear suggestions. My initial thought is that we can do some of these. It would be awesome if we can have one less layer of horizontal navigation. I've created https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20154 to follow up on this. If you or others have any more suggestions feel free to add them there as a comment.

Sure, thanks. I was trying to only change the issues page and stay within your overall layout.
Additionally I would probably move the user icon from the top right to the left and replace the hamburger, since the navigation below is really the user menu.

Thanks for staying within the overall layout, that makes everything much easier to consider and implement.
I've added your last suggestion to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20154
- hide "Open", "Closed", "All" in a status dropdown
- Move the RSS icon somewhere to a dropdown + use a meta tag, people who use it will figure it out
- Move "Filter by name" to the filter menu or even better: switch the top search to "Search issues" with a dropdown to change it again
- Move "Issues, Labels, Milestones" where "Open, Closed, All" was before. Boom, one less horizontal navigation.
- Remove the TODO icon at the top right
- Remove one or two items of the project navigation
- Combine some of the project settings items, especially the lesser used
