Proposal to remove some ambiguity from MR template checklists

Problem

Some ambiguity was identified in !17676 (comment 224751312). It's best to remove ambiguity if possible.

Checking them off seems to imply that the MR contains changes that require those to-do items. If checking means assessing if the to-do item needs to be done, then I'm ok with making that change to the description.

Proposal

  • Add the following below ## Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?:
<!--

- [x] means it has been assessed, and is satisfied
- [-] means it has been assessed, and is irrelevant (deletion doesn't leave room for reconsideration, or becoming relevant after a change)
- [ ] means it has not been assessed, or it is not satisfied yet

-->
  • Add the following below ### Conformity:
This MR conforms to:
  • Remove checkboxes from guideline docs
- [Code review guidelines](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/code_review.html)
- [Merge request performance guidelines](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/merge_request_performance_guidelines.html)
- [Style guides](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/blob/master/doc/development/contributing/style_guides.md)
- [Database guides](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/README.html#database-guides)
  • Remove the following from the ### Performance and Testing section:
<!-- If cross-browser testing is not required, please remove the relevant item, or mark it as not needed: [-] -->

Result

## What does this MR do?

<!--

test coverage is introduced to offset the risk?

Please keep this description up-to-date with any discussion that takes
place so that reviewers can understand your intent. This is especially
important if they didn't participate in the discussion.
