I think we should look at reviewing the ISSUE_TEMPLATE & PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE to see if it is still relevant/adequate for supporting changes within this codebase. Raising this as a placeholder for doing that work and starting a discussion.
I would like to achieve some consistency with the standards used when developing & managing change within the Sensu Plugins as @majormoses and co have made good progress here so lets reap the benefits of this.
