Create Issue Templates

[ax3l]

Create issue templates for:

• bugs
• installation issues
• feature requests
• blank
• usage question -> link to Discussions

Looks good to me! I think this will help reduce the initial back-and-forth from new issues where we usually just ask about the input script, machine setup, etc.

Just one suggestion for a possible improvement.

Thanks for the update!
I guess the "usage question" template is still not made. Maybe that can be done in a follow-up PR so we can see how well these other template work in the meantime?

@roelof-groenewald

Thanks for your feedback, yes, I agree, this will be for sure an iterative process. The discussions page is already quite active and we can see how well this first draft works with the next new issues coming in, while refining things (like the usage question link) in follow-up PRs.

I would still wait for more feedback on the current templates from other developers before merging, though, just to get as much diverse inputs and perspectives as we can.

This is great! Thanks! It is already very thorough.
Is there a need for a template for pull requests (for example like with AMReX)?

@dpgrote

Thanks! Yes, I think we could add PR templates as well, but we felt issues were more urgent since they are the more user-facing of the two. That's the only reason why we started with issues here.

Thanks all for the feedback! I'll add your input asap. I wonder if we should rely on a check box approach if the amount of info starts to become large (maybe people find it more appealing to check boxes rather than spelling out info). I'll see if I can come up with something along these lines, for some of the info that we request, and ping you for review.

I did a bit of work on these templates, trying to make them more uniform, so feel free to re-review if you'd like. There's a bit of repetition between the bug report and the installation issue, to be decided if we want to keep them separate or merge them.
