Description

It seems like there are a decent number of issues filed here where:

1. The issue title contains no useful details. For example, `dotnet` or `dotnet run`.
2. The issue description is an unmodified template from https://dot.net.
3. The user doesn't respond when asked for details.

I think it would make sense to have a bot auto-close issues matching (2), with a generic response asking for more information. If the user responds, the bot should re-open the issue. (If it didn't reopen the issue, the user may be left in limbo with nobody able to see their question.)

I'm not sure how to accomplish this and there's no concrete plan to do this, but wanted to put it out there for discussion.
