Hi Richard,

Alp dug up a few previous issues requesting a number-centric UI (#21712
and #1734; references added to document). For better or worse, both have
been closed, one merge request changing the behavior ended in a revert,
and at least some GitLab contributors believe that titles make for a
better identifier. Regardless, I think there is a strong argument to be
made that this should at very least be configurable; we can try to make
this argument.

Cheers,

- Ben
