Comments authors in GitLab issues, and Merge Requests

Like #207, but for GitLab data source

Comments and emojis are already fetched by Perceval. We could include them in the enriched indexes, WDYT @alpgarcia ?

[jsmanrique]

Thank you @valeriocos. I would suggest that any information recovered by Perceval should be shown in enriched indexes somehow. It would not make sense to spend effort developing support to retrieve such data to not use it and the end.

You're welcome @jsmanrique . Please @sduenas share your thoughts

I would like to work on this.

@valeriocos @sduenas @alpgarcia do you have any pointers on how to proceed?

[valeriocos]

Hi @vchrombie , thank you for your interest to work on this feature!

Since gitlab and github data is similar, you can have a look at:

• https://github.com/chaoss/grimoirelab-elk/blob/master/grimoire_elk/enriched/github2.py
• https://github.com/chaoss/grimoirelab-elk/blob/master/tests/test_github2.py
• https://github.com/chaoss/grimoirelab-sirmordred/blob/master/sirmordred/config.py#L289
• https://github.com/chaoss/grimoirelab-sirmordred/blob/master/sirmordred/task_panels.py#L106 (please look for github-comments to find the other pointers)

Thanks
