Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When exceptions in Bandit occur as a result of bugs, the easier we make it to get bugs reported, the better.
Describe the solution you'd like
So when an exception is encountered in Bandit, instead of just logging the issue, provide a custom URL to the user
for them to open an issue on GitHub with much of the relevant information already populated.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing Bandit's exception-reporting entry point and review GitHub's issue-creation URL format; done means an exception presents a usable prefilled URL with relevant context and existing error logging remains covered by tests.
