How about adding a PR template to make the contribution guidelines stand out more and maybe even make it easier to spot lazy PRs?

I was thinking something along the lines of a checklist:

Added your URL here

  • I have read and understood the contribution guidelines.
  • This PR (and commit) have a descriptive title.
  • The list I added
    • is not a duplicate,
    • has been around for a few weeks,
    • only has awesome items with descriptions,
    • contains the awesome badge,
    • has been checked for inconsistent formatting, spelling and grammar,
    • has been added at the bottom of the appropriate category.
  • I will click on anything, so feel free to close this PR.

I know, this won't stop every halfwit, but, I hope it will reduce the number of dumb PRs by a significant amount.
