I don't think this is quite right. Two things:

1. What we actually want is for all dependencies to be pinned. So not just the build-docs.txt deps as mentioned here, but also the runtime dependencies. The goal is to avoid breakages that might occur when releases of our dependencies happen.
2. The pinned dependencies actually needs to be installed in the Dockerfile running the docs. On its own a .txt file with dependencies doesn't actually do anything unless you install them.

Additionally, can you restore the original PR template? It's useful for maintainers to be able to see what has/hasn't been done yet.

Yeah sounds good!

I guess it's alright to leave as-is this time. The main thing from the checklist that you'd need to do is link the associated issue by adding closes: #123 where 123 is the issue number.

In the future, you shouldn't delete PR templates. Other projects may simply close your PRs as spam if you don't follow their contribution guidelines.
