You need the project you want to move the bug to also using gitlab
issues. It's not a "is the fuctionality there" kind of thing, but a
network effect. You need critical mass of relevant projects in a given
area moved to gitlab, and willing to all migrate their bugs, before
you can use gitlab issues and actually move issues around.
