"I think you misunderstood" I definitely do take offense at the implication we're trying to make it harder to contribute on purpose, which has never been the case. You could have asked if we could make this template optional, for instance, rather than taking an accusatory tone.
"Besides, have you looked with the Github people to see whether they could add a custom (template) text to the issue input form ?" Actually we have, numerous times. We've asked GitHub for lots of bug tracker improvements. We haven't really seen them happen, but we can't really hold this against GitHub either -- we're a small fish in a big pond. We do note that recently we can categorize issues from the issue description page -- which I'm not sure if that came from one of the twenty or so bugs we've filed on the GitHub issue tracker, but we can hope :) Let's do say we give lots of feedback, but we're also quite committed to keeping everything on GitHub. Simply put, the quickest solution was to implement something ourselves. We do need a different template for pull requests -- but the categorization of whether something is a bugfix, feature, or docs pull request is something we will want to be asking via the bot. Not all questions are appropriate, but we still need to ask a few more -- as often people will just submit code without explanation, so there will definitely be a small template.
