Comment:
> * checkboxes re-introduce _tasks_ we have just got rid of

This is behaviour we did not expect, as it was different at some point in the past (simply using text instead of markdown checkboxes). We'll do some tests to see what can be done about that, y/n dropdowns are likely to do the trick

> * mandatory checkboxes are dumb on their own anyway

The goal is to limit what can be requested (only released software, which is void's policy on new packages) and limit duplicates reports (which are extra work and are likely to create obsolete reports)

> * in bug report: there is no need for _update of package_ section

You're likely to have someone who considers old, but otherwise functioning, versions of packages to be "bugs". That text can be removed but it's not gonna be a meaningful change since it's not rendered in the final issue anyways.

> * in bug report: system info should not be mandatory, sometimes it's obvious it doesn't matter

I wonder if it's more obvious to maintainers than to bug reporters, and I suspect that without it being provided, the case it's needed would only be discovered beyond the point the reporter has gone AWOL

> * in bug report: _Bug description_ section should keep it's current name, _Actual behavior_
> * in package request: there should be a field to provide homepage

Consider those fixed
