So it turns out, any repo within an organization will use any .github default defined in a repo like this: https://github.com/GenomicMedLab/.github
This PR removes the ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder so each repo will simply use the org default ones as defined above. If any overrides are needed and are repo-specific, simply add back ISSUE_TEMPLATE with the files and edit any lines as you need for the repo.
If this gets left in, any repo created with this template will automatically contain the folder and identical files that would act as overrides, so they'd need manually updated any time changes are made to the org-wide templates. So removal will make for less work in the future if we ever want to change the templates!
