Add Prerequisite section to the Blank Issue Template #8804

Description

@mocodesss

Overview

We need to directly clarify who should be assigning themselves to issues by adding a Prerequisite section to the top of the Blank Issue template. This prevents contributors who haven't completed onboarding from self-assigning issues, which helps keep issues available to active members and reduces cleanup/re-prioritization work for the merge team and dev leads.

Action Items

  • Open the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/blank-issue-template.md file.
  • Add a ###Prerequisite subheading above ###Overview
  • Add this text to that new section:
1. Be a member of Hack for LA. (There are no fees to join.) If you have not joined yet, please follow the steps on our [Getting Started page](https://www.hackforla.org/getting-started) and attend an onboarding session.
2. Before you claim or start working on an issue, please make sure you have read our [How to Contribute to Hack for LA Guide](https://github.com/hackforla/website/blob/7f0c132c96f71230b8935759e1f8711ccb340c0f/CONTRIBUTING.md).
