Description

Use GitHub's issue templates for bugs and feature requests.

For information, see https://help.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/about-issue-and-pull-request-templates

Benefit / value

This is the de-facto way to add templates for issues and PRs. Having text in the issue for both an issue and feature request, then having to remove one chunk of text is confusing.

Risk / caveats

Risks will lessen because the required text in issues should always be appropriate.

Sponsorship
