GitHub just added this functionality to Pull Requests and Issues and it looks great.

Saved replies are available on all repositories starting today. This can save you a ton of time typing and posting the replies you use most frequently.

Thanks to @Einsteino my template manager plugin is to the proof-of-concept point. It’s missing a translation, but it is functional and allows creating templates on the admin interface.
