## What Make it unambiguous where each kind of contribution lands: | Contribution | Destination | |---|---| | Bug | issue here (`kind/bug`) | | Concrete, scoped feature | issue here (`kind/feature`) | | Question / early idea | GitHub Discussions | | Cross-cutting / architectural change | design proposal in cozystack/community | | Governance / process / community | cozystack/community | ## Changes - Add `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml` — a chooser (`blank_issues_enabled: false`) linking to Discussions, the community design-proposal process, community governance issues, and chat. - Add `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md` (`kind/feature`) with an up-front gate (question → Discussion; cross-cutting → design proposal) and a scope checklist. - `CONTRIBUTING.md`: add a "Where do I file?" routing table. - `README.md`: feature requests now point at issues instead of a Discussions category, reconciling a contradiction with the actively-used issue tracker. ## Notes - `blank_issues_enabled: false` removes the blank-issue escape hatch to keep triage clean — easy to flip if you'd rather keep it. - Pairs with a companion PR in cozystack/community (routing table + dead-link fix). <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Added “Where do I file?” guidance to help route bugs, scoped feature requests, questions/early ideas, cross-cutting design proposals, and community/process topics. * Updated the README “Contributions” section with clearer links and pointers to the right place for each request type. * **New Features** * Added a structured “Feature request” issue template to collect consistent, scoped details. * Disabled blank issue submissions and provided curated entry points for common support and discussion paths. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
