+1 for making the description field "mandatory" in Jira.

(for bugs) log traces, stack traces, steps to reproduce, hypothesis of the
cause.
(for new features) require a summary of the feature proposal, as well as a
design doc in the pull request.
(for improvements) what is not working well, and what is the expected
outcome.

This too looks good to me.

Thanks Wei-Chiu for driving this.
