The lack of issue templates has been clearly stated here and elsewhere. I personally brought it up with GH support, quite a long back, and I imagine others have done the same. It seems clear that GH does not want to change this.<p>There&#x27;s another issue that has received less discussion:  people reporting issues get an enormously complex webpage to look at.  The top of the page has about 10 ex spaces that is mostly blank, and the text that <i>is</i> there is not germane to issue-reporting.<p>GH is a for-profit company and it could benefit from dropping their adherence to their overall UI [1] and set up a more modal UI for issues. That UI should be clean, with a high ratio of text to whitespace, and it should show nothing extraneous to the goal.  And of course it should display the developer&#x27;s <i>how to submit an issue</i> text ... that&#x27;s just so obvious that everyone commenting here (and in &#x27;dear github&#x27; etc) has a right to feel insulted by GH.
