Is there a pull request template that does this?

Edit: I was worried about possibly needing to change license. For now I will just use a permissive license. The situation is made seemingly complicated by the possible need to use copylefted images, combined with the possible need for using server code (which shouldn’t use creative commons) in addition to the static html. I would rather deal with including parts with different licenses (probably not as complicated as I initially thought) instead of contributor license agreements.

Edit 2: Also, license enforcement is not very important for my project.

Edit 3: Now I’m using creative commons zero and making the repo comply with https://reuse.software/

    I understand the philosophy of not wanting to transfer your rights, but I don’t understand what’s bad about contributing to a project and having your code given to the community (as-in copyright transfer to the organisation). Would this be because the org/owner can just start selling the code or is there something that I’m missing?

      It would mean that the owner could take that code and make it closed source. They could do literally anything they wanted with it, because they would own the copyright.
