Periodically update the built-in project templates
You can create a new project and use a project template to import from. We vendor those templates from two places:
Whenever we update one of those projects, we should also update the templates. This can be achieved by running the relevant Rake task. We also have documentation on how to contribute to a new or an existing template.
Problem to solve
We don't update the vendored templates as often needed, which result to poor user experience (example).
Proposal
Create a guideline to update the templates in a regular basis, once a month would be ideal.
If we could have a bot create the MR, even better, as this would eliminate the fear of having tempered with the files, since the Rake task creates tar archived files which are hard to review in an MR.
