Rob Tompkins commented on MATH-1357:
------------------------------------
It seems that we need not have the GitHub template (which is simply used to
auto populate the view on the website). On the other note:

Is it possible to run consistency checks (such as checking the number of
commits, or that a JIRA report exists and insert the info automatically in the
request, or insert the result of the run of tools such as "CheckStyle")? If so,
it would be nice to leverage
{quote}
I think we could definitely have some scripts that manage this. I think that we
can use the .travis.yml (which is already in the repository) to accomplish what
you are looking for. If that doesn't work, I know we could use the apache
commons jenkins instance to accomplish precisely what you are going for here.
I've actually written such code quite recently (in my day job).
> Create Github Pull Request Template
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-1357
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1357
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.6.1
> Reporter: Rob Tompkins
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: github
> Fix For: 3.7
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> I would like to have at the root of {{commons-math}} a directory named
> {{.github}} with a file named {{PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md}} that automatically
> populates the body of pull requests.
> For example, angular.js has the following
> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angular/angular.js/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
> Further we can include anything between the delimiters {{<!-- Some comment
> here -->}} will be seen by the github user opening the pull request, but not
> actually included in the comment. For example consider the one on the
> spring-boot project:
> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
> I would propose we have the following:
> * A link to the CONTRIBUTING.md file in the project, which explains how to
> contribute. I would include this in the {{<!-- -->}} delimited section, as it
> is unnecessary to actually persist into the github pull request comment body.
> * A request to link to a Jira ticket number (which is relatively trivial to
> include).
> * A checkbox for the apache contributor agreement having been signed and
> emailed in.
