PR without a linked issue

[jjangga0214]

Suggestion

I fixed a typo and created a PR #45016.
However, the bot complains about a lack of linked issues.

Is it mandatory?
=> If so, I think we should allow minor PR to be unlinked.
=> If not, I think we should clarify the bot message. Currently, it has an implication of the requirement of a linked issue.

The bot message is fairly clear:

Please open an issue that references this PR.

@MartinJohns Oh, downvoted...?

Then do you think a new issue should be created even just for a PR fixing typo?

[RyanCavanaugh]

We would rather err on the side of people opening issues more than needed, rather than less. People think they have unobjectionable changes but they're frequently wrong. This is just an automated message and you're free to use your human judgment to understand the implications of it.

That's what the bot should imply.

As you can see from @MartinJohns above, some people just follow the statement as-is.

The bot is better(more accurate) to say something like,

"This PR doesn't have any linked issues. An issue is where we can discuss and prioritise first. Please open an issue that references this PR unless you're really sure no issue is needed in case of trivial change like fixing a typo."

IMHO, logically.
