@glopesdev asked me to adapt the existing specification proposal template to GitHub issue forms to see how that might look for this repo.
You can get an idea of how it works by submitting an issue to my fork.
For the most part this is a 1:1 adaption of the existing issue template to issue forms.
Since I added a link to GitHub Discussions for early informal specifications, I also tweaked the title of the template to clarify it's meant for formal proposals.
Using the form template does affect the appearance of submitted issues, but only superficially.
You can compare my test issue with #44 to see the differences.
One unfortunate quirk of issue forms is that the proposal status shows up as a section you can modify. As far as I could find, there's not a better way to represent static markdown comment that should just be added to the issue. (I plan to give GitHub feedback about this.)
Unresolved questions
Open-ended
discussion category, should we add a properProposal
category and link to that? (And maybe delete the default GitHub ones to cut down on the noise)TBD
in them or whatever.)
