Added DNM label to ensure opportunity for discussion so it's not just Stan and I pushing this through in case someone is truly relying on this behavior.

Backport all the way too?

IIUC it should be uncontroversial to remove this workflow from all non-main branches regardless of whether it is ultimately removed from main, as it should have no effect in non-default branches. In theory :)

Yeah this one is annoying. We are already editing the description when a PR is linked (and this causes races sometimes) but I always have edit races with this workflow!

If I understand correctly, this was originally added as people wanted another way to distinguish issues. To keep the titles that this workflow adds we could alternatively just add them to the issue template, like we have for the docs template:

This avoids the workflow, and the races, which I think are the most significant issue.

CC @hugovk @AlexWaygood

It was added to maintain the status quo of the issue templates we used before issue forms.

@StanFromIreland Let's try that, please can you set up a demo in your fork?

Sure, you can test in https://github.com/StanFromIreland/cpython-ci-testing/issues.

As I see no objections here, and the title has been preserved (albeit as a H3), I'm going merge this now.

@hugovk, I presume you want to backport for #158399?

We only need the file deletion and not the template changes, so let's do it as part of #158399.
