[DOCS] Trim down PR template (elastic#198617)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
## Summary

The existing PR template is rarely used. 

It is unclear if contributors actually verify what should be verified.

At the same time, the template is verbose and includes checks that can
be validated in other ways.

By trimming down the template, and removing the optional language from
the checks, we may strike a better balance of ensuring contributors
actually _complete_ the checklist.

When forming the risk matrix, consider some of the following examples
and how they may potentially impact the change:

| Risk | Probability | Severity | Mitigation/Notes |

|---------------------------|-------------|----------|-------------------------|
| By removing some checks, a PR may be | Low | Low | The test suite,
review process, and release processes should primarily ensure that the
PR is working as intended |
| By removing the optional language, contributor may get more frustrated
having to fill out boilerplate | Mid | Low | The template is
considerably shorted now |

### Identify risks

When forming the risk matrix, consider some of the following examples and how they may potentially impact the change:
Does this PR introduce any risks? For example, consider risks like hard to test bugs, performance regression, potential of data loss.

| Risk | Probability | Severity | Mitigation/Notes |
|---------------------------|-------------|----------|-------------------------|
| Multiple Spaces&mdash;unexpected behavior in non-default Kibana Space. | Low | High | Integration tests will verify that all features are still supported in non-default Kibana Space and when user switches between spaces. |
| Multiple nodes&mdash;Elasticsearch polling might have race conditions when multiple Kibana nodes are polling for the same tasks. | High | Low | Tasks are idempotent, so executing them multiple times will not result in logical error, but will degrade performance. To test for this case we add plenty of unit tests around this logic and document manual testing procedure. |
| Code should gracefully handle cases when feature X or plugin Y are disabled. | Medium | High | Unit tests will verify that any feature flag or plugin combination still results in our service operational. |
| [See more potential risk examples](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/RISK_MATRIX.mdx) |
Describe the risk, its severity, and mitigation for each identified risk. Invite stakeholders and evaluate how to proceed before merging.
