Change issue templates to forms #3951

Closed emdneto closed 2 weeks ago

emdneto commented 3 weeks ago

This PR proposes to transition otel-python issue templates to GitHub's issue forms feature.

I noticed other otel projects are adopting this model, including opentelemetry-js, opentelemetry-rust, opentelemetry-dotnet, otel-operator, otel-collector-contrib.

With forms, we can also maintain consistency across issues, enforce mandatory fields, and allow users to provide logs as a simple copy-paste operation with formatting automatically applied by the respective form. I believe this will simplify the process for new contributors and ensure they provide all the necessary information.

It's just a simple proposal, so I'm also open to any suggestions you have, especially on defining the required fields. In general, I think this will enhance the overall contributor experience and streamline issue management for maintainers. Templates proposed here are based on the ones from otel-rust and otel-js.

This is what it looks like if anyone wants to try

I'm all for it if we stop getting the placeholder text in the issue description :sweat_smile:
