docs: allow blank issues and drop stale Submit-a-Server reference - #115
Merged
Conversation
Two follow-ups that were part of PR #114's branch but did not make it into the squash merge: - `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml` — flip `blank_issues_enabled` from `false` to `true` so anyone (not just maintainers) can open a blank issue from the "New issue" chooser. Without the flag, non- maintainers only see the structured templates. - `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/request-server.yml` — replace the outdated "use the Submit a Server template (or open a PR)" hint. The Submit-a-Server template was removed in the prior PR because issue forms can't create PRs; repoint readers straight at CONTRIBUTING.md's quickstart instead.

Summary
Two follow-ups to PR #114 that were on the branch but didn't land in the squash merge. Fixing both in a small, self-contained PR.
1.
blank_issues_enabled: trueconfig.ymlshipped withblank_issues_enabled: false, which surfaces the structured issue templates correctly but hides the "Open a blank issue" link for non-maintainers. Maintainers can bypass that and open blank issues regardless; everyone else gets stuck on the chooser. Flipping totruelets anyone open a free-form issue from the bottom of the chooser when none of the templates fit.2. Drop stale "Submit a Server template" reference
request-server.ymlstill tells users with a working JSON definition to use the "Submit a Server" template. That template was intentionally removed in PR #114 (issue forms can't open PRs, so routing contributors through an issue was slower and confusing). Re-pointing the hint directly atCONTRIBUTING.md's five-command quickstart, which is the actual fastest path.Before:
