linked merge requests would be my killer feature. VERY often we need to change multiple repositories at the same time. Like for example backend+frontend changes that's in different repositories. Having a linkage between them, that would make them be merged together would be awesome. And also prevent merge if one is "wip" or unresolved discussions etc...

We're working on this! We've wanted to explore this for some time; we're tentatively calling this a "super" MR and putting some design time into 11.2 to understand how this might work. Lots to think through here. Love to get your thoughts in the discussion so far: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3427
Cool stuff, way more advanced than I thought of. I don't have an account but might create one, on phone right now. But I drop my 2 cents here. I rather see a free version with a simple relationship between MRs.
Basically;
If linked_mr:
print "warning, merging this will also merge:" + linked_mr
...
Function merge()
...
if linked_mr:
merge(linked_mr)
Then building a more advanced version for EE.
