 The WordPress.org github repository currently has Issues enabled, this was
 done as an experiment to aid in project management.

 Unfortunately this now means we have two locations where tickets can be
 filed, which makes it difficult to deduplicate reports and ensure that all
 relevant issues are known by whomever is working on it.[[BR]]
 This has also resulted in confusion by reporters, who create tickets in
 both locations, or create a issue (as a copy of Trac) such that they can
 submit a PR.

 I'd like to turn off issues on
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/issues eventually. Or leave it
 only for issues transferred from other GitHub repositories.

 In order to do this, we should start by adding GitHub Issue and PR
 templates which remind submitters to a) Include a Trac reference in their
 PRs and b) To create a ticket here on meta.trac preferably (Unless they
 don't have a WordPress.org account).

 Even if we don't turn off issue creation, adding those templates will
 benefit contributors.

 Note: I am not suggesting that we cease accepting PRs.
