Hi everyone,

As the ansible project is getting rather exponential on user traffic
lately, here's a small request for everyone on GitHub usage.

When filing a ticket, whether a pull request or bug ticket or whatever, be
sure the topic is really good and there's also a really good description.

If something is about a module, say what module it is about.   We get a lot
of tickets like:

"add parameter xyz"

and this is hard to tell what the topic is about.   This can be as simple
as writing a better topic like:

"foo module: add new parameter xyz"

If it's about ansible-pull, mention ansible-pull in the topic of the
ticket.   Don't say "--help doesn't list --option-foo" say, "ansible-pull
--help doesn't list --option-foo".

Also, be more specific about errors if possible.    Things like "foo module
is broken" could be more informative if it was "foo module tracebacks when
used with parameter xyz=2 on Arch Linux" or "foo module parameter xyz
doesn't appear to take effect", etc.

This helps us find tickets easier, and also saves us more time for working
on tickets versus organizing all the submissions we get, and editing the
ticket names so we can remember what they are about.

I suspect a large majority of people on GitHub might not even be on this
list, so this may be somewhat of an ineffective request, but we appreciate
every bit of help we can get.

Thank you!
