Except that CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md and LICENSE are all typical files found in a repo that are independent of GitHub. If I push this repo to bitbucket or gitlab, the same stuff is just as important. But `issue_template.md` and `pull_request_template.md` is only dependent on github and is clutter in the repo. Sure if gitlab or bitbucket have these features and use those names, cool it translates to those services too. But it doesn't matter to the code itself.
Ideally both of those files should be under a `templates` section in the repository settings tab.
