> Only the PR change part: I don't think this will help I am also not sure if this will help but I am out of ideas. The discussion on the mailing list transpired that it might help to have something what reminds devs about those things. I don't see how we can automate this, so lets give the template a try - other apache projects do have this too ([example](https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/.github/pull_request_template.md)). I had enough of having to keep linking the reviewer guide etc - it feels stupid to have to chase after committers and to have to do things like this. > At least once it was said that the bottom part of the PR should be removed and I agree with that, it should not be part of history or change log. well. I typically remove it too on my PRs. There are also tricks to open PRs without template, so power users can get a clean slate if they want. This is intended for those who commit once per release or less - or those who keep forgetting how delivery works. the collapsible section can be also set to auto collapse by manually removing the `open` from `<details open>`, this would add another method to de-noise the PR text as middle ground - if you don't want to remove the whole thing. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
