Disable repository-wide issue templates.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Github automatically applies issue templates from https://github.com/vmware/.github/ to all projects under the VMware org. This introduces a level or bureaucracy that is not suitable for all projects and that cannot be easily opted out of (to the best of my knowledge).

Describe the solution you'd like

Issue templates are useful in large projects with many external contributors in order to help streamline bug diagnostics and reduce the load on maintainers. However, such projects use highly customized templates designed to capture project-specific information. For a smaller project like ours, I prefer to make it as easy as possible for people to send their questions, requests, and bug reports by not imposing any structure. Speaking from personal experience, even a relatively simple form introduces an unnecessary barrier. And if the form has mandatory fields, I start to feel like it's the tax season :)

While github does allow us to override the set of templates per repo, I don't see a way to disable templates altogether once they are enabled for the org.

I would like to ask the maintainers of the vmware org to please reconsider the use of issue templates. Folks who want to use templates for their repos can add them with two clicks.

Start by reviewing the organization-wide issue-template behavior described for vmware/.github and the repository-level GitHub settings that can override templates. Determine whether templates can be disabled for this organization; done means either removing the automatic templates or documenting the confirmed limitation and available opt-out path.
