⚕️✨：give the organization a default issue form - #904
Conversation
This repository supplies the community health files every OpenINF repository inherits, and the issue template is the one it never had. A repository without its own gets GitHub's blank box, which is where a report with no version, no steps and no expected behaviour comes from. Deliberately general, because it is inherited by repositories that have nothing in common but the organization. A repository wanting something specific writes its own, and that one wins. No `labels:` on it. Label vocabularies differ across these repositories, and naming one that does not exist somewhere would be a template that half works. The contact links matter more than the form does. The first one says not to open a public issue for a vulnerability and points at SECURITY.md: issues are public from the moment they are opened, and a default that does not say so is how a vulnerability ends up disclosed by someone trying to be helpful. The other two are the venues SUPPORT.md already names, rather than new ones invented here. Blank issues stay enabled. A form that fits one repository will not fit all of them, and turning the option off would leave anybody it does not suit with nowhere to go.

Make the shared security policy repository-agnostic.
The default templates link to SECURITY.md, which only covers vulnerabilities in the OpenINF SDK. A reporter for another OpenINF repository may not receive applicable reporting guidance. Update SECURITY.md or link to a private intake that accepts reports for every OpenINF repository. Apply the same repository-agnostic instructions in both .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml and .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/1-bug-report.md.

This repository supplies the community health files every OpenINF
repository inherits, and the issue template is the one piece it never
had. A repository without its own currently gets GitHub's blank box —
which is where a report with no version, no steps and no expected
behaviour comes from.
Important
This is an organization-wide default. Every repository with no
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATEof its own picks it up; any repository thatwrites its own overrides it entirely. That is why the form is
deliberately general and why it carries no
labels:— labelvocabularies differ across these repositories, and naming one that
does not exist somewhere is a template that half works.
The contact links matter more than the form
The first one tells people not to open a public issue for a
vulnerability, and points at
SECURITY.md. Issues are public from themoment they are opened, and a default that does not say so is how a
vulnerability gets disclosed by somebody trying to be helpful.
The other two are the venues
SUPPORT.mdalready names — the#supportDiscord channel it calls the one to prefer, and the docs site — rather
than anything invented here. I did not add the Matrix room: SUPPORT.md
describes it as "mostly defunct in favor of our Discord channel(s)".
Blank issues stay enabled
A form that fits one repository will not fit all of them. Turning the
blank option off would leave anyone the template does not suit with
nowhere to go.
One bug worth mentioning
verify.yamlcaught a real defect in my first draft:The #support channel …— a space before#opens a YAML comment, sothe sentence was silently truncating and breaking the block. The values
are quoted now, with a comment saying why. Worth noting because the file
would have looked fine in review; GitHub would simply have ignored a
config it could not parse.
Deliberately not included
No feature-request or question templates. One form I am confident is
right beats three I am guessing at, and the contact links already route
questions to Discord.
