Issue and change-request templates exist so reports arrive with the facts you need
Every free-form bug report costs a round trip to ask for the version and the reproduction. A template collects both before the issue is filed.
Observable check
the repository has .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ with at least one template plus .github/pull_request_template.md, or .gitlab/issue_templates/ with at least one template plus .gitlab/merge_request_templates/.
