We've had some success in the git-scm repository with using templates. E.g., try https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/new/choose, which is driven by the files in https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/tree/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE. It's not perfect, of course, but at least it puts the information in front of people right when they're trying to open the issue.

The changes here look good. But after seeing the issue template suggestion which seems like a much better solution to the problem. I wonder if we want to do this 🤔

@sivaraam let's merge this now and try to do the issue template suggestion soon. We can revisit this after the issue template has been improved.
