Carlos has pointed out that there is rudimentary (not very good) 
support for duplicates:

https://wiki.gnome.org/GitLab#Issues

I think it suffices for now... you just have to remember the magic 
words /duplicate #number. Lack of duplicates was my biggest concern. I 
trust this will be improved in the future.

Canned replies are WIP upstream. I can live without for a short while, 
as I trust they will be implemented sooner rather than later.

Emmanuele and Carlos both proposed various workarounds to lack of issue 
dependencies. One option is to use labels to track a group of related 
issues. The other option is to manually maintain a task list issue, 
which is a bit of manual effort, but not really a big deal.

No further objections from me.
