António Fernandes 9ed4a0f02d issue_templates: Redirect feature requests 
The existing Feature issue template is tailored for contributors who
understand the process, have insight on benefits and drawbacks.

In practice, that's a minority of the people how use the template. 
For everybody else, the template appears to encourage submission of
features requests without previous community discussion. This often
results in poor quality issue descriptions which lack actual use 
cases and naïvely assert there are no drawbacks. Poor quality issues 
end up being closed, which sends negative vibes, feeding frustration
and unproductive behaviors.

Aiming to avoid the negativity trap and promote community engagement,
point people in the direction of Discourse and the place to discuss
ideas.

Also, add a new Shortcomings template to get more useful information
on the underlying problems motivating the feature request.

Ideas for new features are welcome!

Please share your feature ideas in our Discourse in order to discuss them with our community:

https://discourse.gnome.org/tag/nautilus

Quite some evaluation plus refinement has to happen between an idea and creating an actual and detailed plan for a potential implementation. We found that they develop into actionable issues best when they are discussed beforehand.

However, if you've got this idea because of an existing problem in the application, please don't forget to report the bug or shortcoming using the respective template.
