 Now that you can [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/02/21/working-on-
 trac-tickets-using-github-pull-requests/ link pull requests to Trac
 tickets in Core], we should consider
 [https://help.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/creating-a
 -pull-request-template-for-your-repository#adding-a-pull-request-template
 adding a pull_request_template.md] to `trunk` which informs contributors
 who land on the [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop wordpress-
 develop GitHub repository] that pull requests **must** be linked to a Trac
 ticket.

 The template could look something like this:
