Github issue template should not ask for full --verbose --debug output as that is too long for Github limits, making issue submission fail #187349

Description of issue

I tried to submit an issue following the reproducible bug report template.

When I submitted, I got an error message: Comment is too long (maximum is 65536 characters)

Even when I shortened the longest comment, I could no longer submit, because of presumably a bug in Github issue templates.

So I had to recreate the issue from scratch.

The root cause (in addition to Github's bug of not allowing shortening and resubmitting) is that you ask for the failing command with --verbose --debug. The full verbose logs of brew uninstall little-snitch --verbose --debug are more then 225k characters, more than 3 times the character limit.

This results in a very very lengthy log that exceeds the issue limits. You should change the template to no longer require this output.

This is the issue where I noticed this problem: #187348
