+            ## Description
+
+            This issue is automatically created as a gentle reminder to evaluate the tool versions, and base container, for
+            the container image built from this repository. The checklist below describes the steps that should be taken,
+            and checked-off before this issue can be closed. Any decisions about purposefully not updating a tool to a newer
+            version should be logged as issue comment. The general philosophy is to always include the latest tool versions
+            and the latest [LTS](https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle) version of Ubuntu.
+
+            Please note that, where possible, tool versions are kept up-to-date by Dependabot. Below list includes tools that
+            are not under Dependabot control.
+
+            ## Checklist
