Thanks @JonathanGregory for providing some context.

This PR is related solely to how we do things on GitHub. Currently we have no 
rules on how to accept such changes (I'd like to address that soon when taking 
a closer look at the "Rules" document on the website) and thus I propose that 
we treat it in the same way as we treat proposed changes to the Conventions 
themselves.

The proposed changes are summarised as follows:
- Refer to issue templates rather than describing them in CONTRIBUTING.md. This 
makes us more flexible. 
- Offer help to those who are not familiar with GitHub if they have 
difficulties submitting proposals
- Note that the 3-week rule implicitly includes a "feature freeze" that 
submitters should be aware of
- Copyedit
- Augment pull request template to include procedures for making it easier to 
mint a release after any given merge
- Link to associated pull request in issue templates

Would anybody be willing to moderate the discussion surrounding these changes? 
I consider them to be of a minor nature.
