The template's Resolves issue # line never links a pull request to its issue: GitHub expects the closing keyword directly before the reference, and the word "issue" in between breaks it. #824 targeted the default branch with Resolves issue #823 and was never linked to #823.

The line now reads Resolves #. Its comment says to repeat the keyword for each issue (Resolves #1, resolves #2), since one keyword links only the reference that follows it.

GitHub reads pull request templates from the default branch only, so the change is made on 4.3.x.

"Resolves issue #823" does not link a pull request to the issue: GitHub
expects the keyword directly before the reference, and the word "issue"
in between breaks it. #824 targeted the default branch with that line and
was never linked to #823.

The template now reads "Resolves #", and its comment says to repeat the
keyword for each issue, since one keyword links only the reference that
follows it.
