Andrew,

I doubt you can enforce that through github configuration, and even if we could, that seems to me like adding overhead to all the people acting reasonably (some "institutional" large projects may have that kind of policy, but none of the projects I regularly or occasionally contribute to require this). That said, opening an issue to discuss a problem and expose some ideas can certainly be done when needed (and going through a full RFC for substantial changes), but someone contributing a typo fix shouldn't have to open a ticket first.

Would it be helpful to require an issue that describes the change to be made and then some approval before permitting an PR to be opened? (I have no idea if this is technically feasible.)

    Hi,

    based on the experience gained from the initial policy, I propose to
    significantly revise it to drastically limit their use. See
