We use GitHub "issue templates" to push / force users to write good issues containing all the necessary information. See our .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder.

GitHub recently released a new feature called "issue forms", which are basically structured issue templates, enabling a clearer separation between issue template filler and the actual issue, for better (?) user experience. See:

• GitHub Docs / Issue & PR templates / Creating issue forms
• GitHub Docs / Issue & PR templates / Syntax for GitHub's form schema

It looks neat and I think I'll give it a try these days. This is a little issue

1. To remind me to try it
2. To encourage passersbys who already used it to give feedback about it: how did it go for you? (As a user or project maintainer?) Does it work as advertised? Any annoying limitations? Does it look like a great idea but turns out to be inflexible from a user perspective in the end? Etc; all feedback welcome 🙂.
