Downstream lesson maintainers are supposed to adapt this to point at
their repository's issues [1], so use a reference name that works for
both the lesson-template and downstream repositories.  That way they
only have to update the referenced URL and can leave the reference
name alone.

1.  Removed YAML header.
2.  Changed link to refer to `LICENSE.html` instead of `LICENSE.md`.

Leaving the reference to the lesson-template repo alone - lesson authors will be expected to edit this (and instructions to do that will go in the docs in the gh-pages branch).
