I don't like the general feel of these suggestions. It sounds like more bureaucratic features, the lack of which is a big part of why GitHub is so pleasant.
Making an issue or a pull request feels like having a casual chat with the project maintainers. Adding fields and other hoops to jump through puts distance between people.
I guess for maintainers of popular projects, everybody's "casual chat" (by people who did not read CONTRIBUTING.txt, do not supply the version of relevant software they are using etc.) is not as fun as it is for you.
