Update: Implement feature request suspension and new guidelines

- Temporarily suspended the acceptance of new feature requests to focus on bug fixes, performance improvements, and critical updates.
- Added a markdown section notifying users about the temporary suspension and the backlog status of existing requests.
- Introduced a checkbox to confirm user understanding of the feature request suspension.
- Enhanced the feature request template with a section about the policy on unnecessary pings to maintainers, including an acknowledgment checkbox.
- Updated labels to include "P4: negligible" and "backlog" for better issue categorization.

+        ## **❗ Important: Temporary Suspension of New Feature Requests**
+
+        **At this time, we are not accepting any new feature requests. Existing feature requests will be moved to the backlog and tagged accordingly.**
+
+        - **Reason**: Our current priority is focused on fixing bugs, improving system performance, and implementing essential updates. This temporary suspension will allow us to stabilize the project and ensure smoother management.
+        - **What This Means**: During this period, no new feature requests will be reviewed or accepted. However, we continue to welcome feedback, and all suggestions will be reviewed once the suspension is lifted.
+
+        ## **❗ Important: Please Avoid Unnecessary Pinging of Maintainers**
+
+        **We kindly ask users to refrain from pinging maintainers unless absolutely necessary. Pings should be reserved for critical issues or urgent matters that require immediate attention.**
+
+        - **Why**: To help maintainers focus on high-priority tasks, we kindly request that unnecessary or repeated pings be minimized. This will help ensure quicker responses for matters that truly need attention.
+        - **What This Means**: Non-urgent pings may be ignored or addressed later. Please assess the urgency of your request before pinging a maintainer.
