From c8268f62a05ee45331b90b3b6f212c476baad707 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kaartic Sivaraam Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2020 00:08:38 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE: clarify that issue number needs to be replaced Some contributors seem to be missing the fact that they have to mention the issue number right after `Fixes ` to ensure the corresponding issue gets closed[1] when the PR gets merged. Clarify this by using a better phrase that clearly states that they have to replace the placeholder text with the issue number.
