Something to detect someone reporting more than one issue in a single report and suggest the report two bugs instead.

Something to try to detect a duplicate report and link the two reports together.

As many integrations with code repositories and project management tools as possible.

Got the 1st and 2nd one.

What kind of integrations will help and why would you need those integrations?

I use Github with clubhouse.io. Having a story for tracking the progress of work on a bug automatically move across columns on the kanban board means everyone who isn't a developer knows what the state of it is without needing to learn to use Github and development langauge. It makes talking about the progress of work much simpler.

Essentially I view integrations as a way to automating translating information between developer's focus and understanding of something, a product/project manager's understanding of it, a client's understanding of it, etc. I don't need to explain that a bug has progressed past PR and deployed to a test server if the product manger can see the story move from Development to QA on their view of a project. Also, as people are fallible, it means no one has to manually update the status of a story. Everyone is up to date by 'magic'.
