Bojhan and I talked on IRC, and we had this idea to add 2 blocks to the issue pages.

1) "Issue mentions" block: it shows all the other related issues mentioned in this issue (and comments).
2) "Issue mentioned in" block: it traces back to all the other issues that mentioned this issue.

The second block can be easily implemented using the code in #511514: enable "related discussions" block on d.o.. I can also write the customized code for the first block if people think it's a good idea.

Comments? thanks.

I think this is a very interesting opportunity, since its very common to have a number of issues related the one you created. But also if large issues get worked on, the amount of related issues becomes almost impossible to easily scan.

With that - it could also potentially solve workflow issues when you are moving in a certain issue queue.

This idea should be evaluated in light of the issue node relationships discussion that's taking place as part of the Project* D7 Upgrade. It might be a duplicate of another, larger issue.

This new feature isn't actually part of the Drupal.org D7 upgrade, untagging. It is something to think about doing once the upgrade is done.
