i've found that the PR template, while made with great intentions, is pretty awkward to use on a daily basis. there's too much text, and it's just kinda cluttered and overwhelming. i feel that it can be made way shorter, reducing it to just the gist of the process, and still provide most of the necessary slots for a newcomer to fill out. any ambiguities or missing details can be easily worked out through regular conversation.

i'm aware some might object to the amount of detail i'm removing. my answer is that i think it's better to err on the side of brevity when it comes to these templates.

Does the branch you PR against have any effect on which template is shown? If so, should probably rebase this on 3.10. [Also remember for future commits to use [skip ci]].

always default branch: "Templates are available to collaborators when they are merged into the repository's default branch."

Initially I didn't like that we were using # for headings as this is the comment character in pull request templates, which leads to problems when i try to submit a PR via command line. However, I just realized I can configure this (git config core.commentchar "@"), so all good
