Description

I'd like to create issue templates for this repo to help qualify and steer issues.

In particular I'd like to quash link-dumps here, those that come without basic explanation and a modicum of vetting.

I don't want any more submissions without elaborated justification, and future curation guidance.

Research direction
The issue requests creating issue templates (as described in GitHub help) to qualify and steer submissions, especially to prevent link dumps without justification. The assignee may already have started work; check issue comments for any updates. To implement, create a .github/ISSUE TEMPLATE directory with a config.yml and at least one markdown template. Review existing templates in popular open source projects for examples.
