Plugin Bug Reporting in Plugins

[tareknaser]

Description:

We currently lack a simple way for users to report bugs in plugins.

Suggested Implementation:

1. Manifest Update: Add a new field in the plugin manifest for the developer's email address for bug reporting.
2. User Command: Introduce a new command (e.g., coffee report <plugin> <issue_faced>) for users to report plugin issues briefly.

Similar Cases in Other Projects:

Brew:

• In Brew, the brew info <cask> command provides various details about a package, including the developer's email address. This is not explicitly designed for bug reporting but this kind of information could be used as well to report issues.

we should look also at the example command that is git bugreport but idk how we can opens issue on github without using the github API

git bugreport is used to file a bug report with git itself.
It gives the user a template with useful information (eg. system information and git version), and then saves the file and asks the user to send it to their mailing list.

we can take a similar approach. when users run coffee report, they'll be prompted to fill out a template with details about the issue. Then, we'll suggest sending this report to the maintainer's email address.

This is what I was thinking, we should just implement the maintainer info inside the coffee manifest
