I think we could have better user experience when they people go to add an issue for our project. This could be simple things such as text areas, instead of raw markdown, drop-down menus for what component of the website it buggy, or simple things, like an emoji in title -> 🐛 Bug report

we could automatically assign the 'website-Update-Project' to new bug requests. These will still get the untriaged label, and so will still need to be seen, and prioritized, but it takes one step out of the process for our maintainers. Additionaly, it seems like feature requests, and bug reports only go to the website-update-project.
Validator "required=true" on the fields that we think deserve it.
text areas for user-entry, instead of free form user-entry
dropdown menu for the website component that is affected.
Note
These changes will not affect how the issue is rendered to us, it only affects the issue-intake, and makes it more user friendly.
See these three recent [BUG] reports from OpenSearch, and notice how there are no dropdowns or text-areas being rendered, it looks normal.
