Thanks for your feedback.

Could we have M-x org-submit-feature-request and M-x org-submit-patch?

This way we would make users aware of these possibilities and the BARK
conventions would be easier to discover and follow.

M-x org-submit-feature-request would guide the user through what a good
feature request is, encouraging users to check if a similar request has
been made already.

M-x org-submit-patch could check [PATCH] gets prepended to the subject
or that the attached patch is well-formatted.

Nothing to clever, just interactive guidelines to talk to the tracker.

The clearer the information we receive upstream, the less processing is
required downstream: I'd encourage submitters to decide if this is a bug
report or a feature request. If they want to submit both, it's better to
send them in separate emails, because probably two distinct commits will
solve them anyway.

It's okay for BARK not to catch everything - in those cases, a human can
disambiguate and promote the email as a bug and/or a feature request.
