Given that we use multiple issue templates now and hopefully they’re a bit better, if not perfect, at nudging people toward providing the right information, this seems like it’d be trickier to implement for not an enormous benefit. I’m going to remove future-proposal to allow for focus on other things. Definitely a cool idea and appreciated @j-f1, so thank you. ❤️

This idea is interesting for the future, but this is beyond the scope of our current roadmap.

I added the future-proposal label to this issue and closed it so that we won’t get overwhelmed with our backlog! We will revisit this in our next planning session.
