We don't pay GitHub precisely because they lack features we can implement in GitLab.

Much of that is due to the OP's requested features that are currently missing. But tbh, it is too late to get us to switch.

We’d like issues to gain custom fields, along with a mechanism (such as a mandatory issue template, perhaps powered by a newissue.md in root as a likely-simple solution) for ensuring they are filled out in every issue.

For instance, is something we basically implemented in our local version of GitLab but aren't sharing because our implementation pulls this from internal docs other people can't use. Our CSRs put issues into GitLab but they tend to forget steps while on the phone with a user.

We wouldn't have bothered if we had something like this when I was evaluating GitLab vs. GitHub.
