Description
Explain what you would like to see improved
After #10366 was merged, there were some further ideas to fine tune the GitHub issue templates. I leave them here for the record.
- Backtrace. (For example, when ROOT crashes and prints the stacktrace, there could be an option to forward it to a specific textarea in the YML template.)
- Should we add three backquotes before and after GetSetup() so that it is formatted as monospace when filling ROOT version?
- Name of the build machine. (I don't know how else to figure out whether it's one of our binaries, a package, or built by the user? Iirc that's not available right now? Actually not related to build method, so not too useful)
- OS name
- ROOT-version prepopulated textarea contains also information that might fit better in other textarea. Should we split? or remove the dupe textarea?
- Update on web full list of commands, add .gh issue, do as in update help message update help message web#776 update with latest commands web#864
- Recommend also on ROOT manual these commands
- Maybe add similar instruction on main ROOT webpage as https://www.kicad.org/help/report-an-issue/
- Mention in the Forum --> Done by Bertrand
- Add aliases (see below)? ++ update web/manual to reflect this

How to reproduce?
The way to submit a bug report without opening ROOT by hand would be:
root -b -e '.gh bug' -q
root -b -e '.gh feature' -q
root -b -e '.gh improvement' -q
root -b -e '.forum bug' -q
Not sure if it's worth to define an alias to these commands, in a similar fashion to rootbrowse, etc. For example:
rootbug
rootfeature
rootimprovement
rootforum
