Master Issue recreates itself

[Preisschild]

What Renovate type are you using?
Platform: Gitlab
Renovate: Selfhosted Docker Container 21.12.4

Describe the bug
On Gitlab, renovate seems to ignore the existing master issue every few days and creates a new one (without closing or doing anything else with the existing one).

Did you see anything helpful in debug logs?

To Reproduce

Additional context

I think the issue could be a paging issue.

It seems like Renovate creates a new issue every time the existing master issue is not on the first page anymore.

Need to check our getIssues() function for GitLab retrieves enough items.

Are you reusing the same account for Renovate plus anything else? Or does Renovate have a dedicated user account?

[Preisschild]

Renovate has a dedicated user account.

We've been having this issue on gitlab too, it seems to occur after a significant number of issues have just been created.

Here's the code:

renovate/lib/platform/gitlab/index.ts

Lines 743 to 762 in e1ea26e

	export async function getIssueList(): Promise<any[]> {
	if (!config.issueList) {
	const res = await gitlabApi.getJson<{ iid: number; title: string }[]>(
	`projects/${config.repository}/issues?state=opened`,
	{
	useCache: false,
	}
	);
	// istanbul ignore if
	if (!is.array(res.body)) {
	logger.warn({ responseBody: res.body }, 'Could not retrieve issue list');
	return [];
	}
	config.issueList = res.body.map((i) => ({
	iid: i.iid,
	title: i.title,
	}));
	}
	return config.issueList;
	}

We should set the per_page and author params like we do with PRs:

renovate/lib/platform/gitlab/index.ts

Lines 1040 to 1043 in e1ea26e

	const query = new URLSearchParams({
	per_page: '100',
	author_id: `${authorId}`,
	}).toString();
