The pull_request_template.md helps the user by providing a checklist while creating a PR. However, it's not a part of the main source code. It's an extension for GitHub.
Hence it should be moved into .github directory.
Also in the future we might need to support multiple PR templates for multiple issue types (such as bug-fix, feature, ci, docs, etc.). Therefore, it's better to put it under the .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE
