Summary

I've noticed that some issues seem to attract a lot of (likely automated) duplicate PRs. #28102 is a
recent example that elicited four PRs in the five days it has been open. I'm not sure if the changes
here will actually help, but I've tried to add both contributor- and agent-facing documentation to
suggest checking for linked PRs before opening another one.
