(This is an idea I've got after reading the discussion in #55 (comment), although it's not related to the discussion itself, so I'm opening a new issue not to spam that discussion).
See this template. It has content. It says things. I propose we remove the content form the template and save it somewhere where content belongs, such as in this repository a YAML or Markdown file.
Does it make sense?
(This is not intended as bikeshedding, feel free to ignore the proposal until more pressing issues are fixed.)
