Description
Summary
This issue captures two tasks that are somewhat related in that they impact how contributors and maintainers interact with the repository.
The current PR template has room for improvements. GitHub doesn't support forms for Pull Requests, so the editing experience is not great and the current template is overly verbose as evidenced by the fact that most of the time it doesn't get filled completely.
Finally, while the issue templates are in a good state, they could use some updates (see "Solution") section below.
Why is this needed?
So that the issue and PR creation is more streamlined, while keeping the same level of info for maintainers.
Which area does this relate to?
Governance
