Add a YAML issue form template (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/revdep_check_failure.yml) for data.table maintainers to report reverse dependency check failures that should be fixed before the next CRAN release. Based on the 'Steps to report a new revdep check problem' section of https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/wiki/Revdep-checks The template includes: - pre-filing verification checklist (issue reproducibility, git bisect, etc.) - required fields: affected package, problem description, failing check output, first bad commit/PR link, R version(s) affected - optional fields: minimal reproducible example, additional context - auto-labels issues with 'revdep'
