#45 and #47 stayed open for days after #60 and #61 shipped them because neither PR linked its issue. CONTRIBUTING.md (from #82) already asks for the link and the leaderboard only scores linked issues, but the template had no place for it. Add the line so it is the default.

What does this change, and why?
#45 and #47 were fully implemented in #60 and #61 (merged 2026-11-08), but both issues stayed open until 2026-11-11. The PRs never said
Closes #45/Closes #47, so GitHub had nothing to close. The PR template has no place for an issue link, so it's easy to miss. During the hackathon this matters more: an open, unassigned issue reads as available, so someone could pick up work that's already done..github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: starts with aCloses #line and a short comment explaining it.CONTRIBUTING.md already asks for the link (its new Hackathon points section, from Add the hackathon contributor leaderboard #82), and the leaderboard only scores issues a merged PR closes. The template is where people actually write the description, so the line belongs there too.
