Pull request overview

Adds an automated GitHub Issues follow-up process for issues labeled needs-more-info, including documentation and issue templates to set expectations for reporters.

Changes:

• Adds an issue_comment workflow to remove needs-more-info / stale-warned when the original author responds and post an acknowledgement.
• Updates contributor docs and adds bug/feature issue templates to describe the follow-up process.

• This removes the needs-more-info label and posts a message implying the requested details were provided on any comment by the issue author. That conflicts with the documented “Need more time?” flow (where the author may be acknowledging they need time but hasn't provided details yet) and may prematurely take the issue out of the needs-more-info queue. Consider either (a) only removing stale-warned on any author response and keeping needs-more-info until a maintainer removes it, or (b) requiring an explicit command/keyword to remove needs-more-info, and tailoring the auto-reply text accordingly.
