Description
The WordPress.org github repository currently has Issues enabled, this was done as an experiment to aid in project management.
Unfortunately this now means we have two locations where tickets can be filed, which makes it difficult to deduplicate reports and ensure that all relevant issues are known by whomever is working on it.
This has also resulted in confusion by reporters, who create tickets in both locations, or create a issue (as a copy of Trac) such that they can submit a PR.
I'd like to turn off issues on https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/issues eventually. Or leave it only for issues transferred from other GitHub repositories.
In order to do this, we should start by adding GitHub Issue and PR templates which remind submitters to a) Include a Trac reference in their PRs and b) To create a ticket here on meta.trac preferably (Unless they don't have a WordPress.org account).
Even if we don't turn off issue creation, adding those templates will benefit contributors.
Note: I am not suggesting that we cease accepting PRs. https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/pulls
