Create new categories for the issues:
* Bug report
* Packaging request
* Security
Add metadata information to the issues so that we may match issues to
maintainers using a bot in the future.
The old `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md` is being used by the "Open a regular
issue." link.
There have been a couple of instances where I have by chance noticed PRs
which add non-free licenses without them being appropriately marked. I'd
like to be notified of proposed changes to licenses to make it less
likely that this sort of thing slips by.
I'm happy to keep helping out with Haskell infrastructure where I can,
but I don't have a good system for handling the accidental codeowner
pings caused by target branch switches.
Since the development of #38698, I have been radically overhauling the
PostgreSQL support and plan on maintaining it in the long run, taking
over from @ocharles, who authored most of it initially.
However, while #38698 has not been merged (yet), I'm taking the time to
go ahead and add myself as the owner of all the related code, so that I
can be marked as a reviewer for things people submit in the mean time.

Commit 9428c28f7a37038b594c5ff36b1669b0f21afe41 added a note in
`CONTRIBUTING.md` saying that, "For consistency, there should not be a
period at the end of the commit message."
I believe it would be more correct (with respect to consistency) to
say that there should not be a full stop/period at the end of the
commit message's *summary line* (the first line of the commit message)
(indeed, the example commit message just above this note clearly does
use full stops outside of its summary line), and this patch changes
`CONTRIBUTING.md` accordingly.
I’d like to be notified of changes so I can ensure the API always follows the same patterns.
Later (more specific) files replace more general codeowners [according to the documentation](https://help.github.com/articles/about-codeowners/), so I also listed `edolstra` and `nbp` again.
This format uses the path matching algorithm as the .gitignore format.
The paths need to be prefixed with a / to become absolute, otherwise it
will match all of these files.
The paths will also match any of the sub-paths by default so it's not
necessary to use the `*` like in bash globbing.
