----------------------------------

             Summary: Create Github Pull Request Template
                 Key: MATH-1357
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1357
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 3.6.1
            Reporter: Rob Tompkins
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 3.7


I would like to have at the root of {{commons-math}} a directory named {{.github}} with a file named {{PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md}} that automatically populates the body of pull requests.

For example, angular.js has the following
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angular/angular.js/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

Further we can include anything between the delimiters {{<!--}} and {{-->}} will be seen by the github user opening the pull request, but not actually included in the comment. For example consider the one on the spring-boot project:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

I would propose we have the following:
* A link to the CONTRIBUTING.md file in the project, which explains how to contribute. I would include this in the {{<!-- -->}} delimited section, as it is unnecessary to actually persist into the github pull request comment body.
* A request to link to a Jira ticket number (which is relatively trivial to include).
* A checkbox for the apache contributor agreement.
