This PR improves the GitHub issue templates by adding guidance to help users interact more effectively with issues, similar to the changes made in opentelemetry-collector#13193.
Changes Made
Added a "Tip" dropdown section to both issue templates:
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/BUG-REPORT.yml
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/FEATURE-REQUEST.yml
The tip section guides users to:
Implementation Details
The tip is implemented as a dropdown element that renders as a helpful subtitle in the GitHub issue body, following the same pattern used in the opentelemetry-collector repository. This approach was chosen because GitHub issue forms don't support standalone markdown elements that render in the issue body.
Benefits
Fixes #3054.
