Uh, good point... No idea who's listed as list moderators, so I dully
emailed <docs-feedback-owner gnome org> before asking sysadmins.

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/description_templates.html

(Note that we run CE instead of EE, though usually docs are the same.)

In my understanding, setting a default issue template is not possible
in our installation (see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/-/issues/182#note_972139 )

so basically nobody will ever manually click that template dropdown
thing anyway (I've never done that myself).

Sounds a bit similar like the "Get rid of a security mailing list and
make people file tickets" past discussion in Release Team.

Though in this case... could the project/label parameter in the GitLab
URL be adjusted by taking the project name segment in the page URL?
