Allow easier input of domains requested to be reviewed #6322

Credits for this idea goes to @jeremyn

The idea was originally posted in https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/issues/6307 Moving it here to keep the other issue clean from off-topic discussion.

The discussion left off with me saying:

users could tweet domains using some hashtag:

I like the idea as I am a Twitter user, however, not everyone have a Twitter account and I think it will be difficult to list and mark which are done.

What about using Google Forms and having it being saved in a Spreadsheet? Contributors could mark domains with its status and the spreadsheet would be public for read-access. Thoughts?

@jeremyn A week is enough for a user to fix the mistakes in an issue. If they do not fix the mistakes, then the issue is probably abandoned.

We need to allow specifying multiple domains in one issue as long as they have a common parent which is not a public suffix, else we are going to drown in issues.

@koops76 In my suggested instructions in https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/pull/11615#issuecomment-330917544, my plan is that reporters put the highest common domain in the Domain: field and specific subdomains in the free-form description part. An issue might look like this:

Domain: example.com

Specifically one.example.com and two.example.com.

If a casual reporter notices that one.example.com should be covered, it generally means that the entire example.com ruleset needs to be created or updated.
