GitHub supports web form fields in issue templates:

```yaml
name: Feature request
description: Suggest an idea for this project
body:
  - type: markdown
    attributes:
      value: |
        Thanks for taking the time to fill out this feature report!
  - type: textarea
    id: feature-description
    attributes:
      label: Description
      description: "A clear and concise description of what the problem is."
      placeholder: Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...].
    validations:
      required: true
```

This will render the below form:
