Proposal: Add a unified GitHub Issue Form for bugs, features, docs, and general proposals #1001

@misbahafzal

Description

@misbahafzal

I would like to propose replacing ad-hoc issue formatting with a single unified GitHub Issue Form that supports all issue types (Bug, Feature, Enhancement, Docs, Question, Proposal).

Why

  • Consistent issue quality
  • Faster maintainer triage
  • Fewer missing details
  • Still flexible for non-bug issues

Suggested title format

[Type] Short summary
Types:

  • Bug
  • Feature
  • Enhancement
  • Docs
  • Question
  • Proposal

Suggested implementation

  • Add .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/general.yml (single issue form)
  • Update .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml to point users to this form (optional)
  • Keep it lightweight with conditional sections
