Research direction
Review the affected dropdowns in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml, documentation.yml, feature_request.yml, and question.yml, using the linked sections as the starting point. Update each component option to include its intended repository name, then verify that all four templates present the routing information consistently.

Description
Extracted from a side comment on #5
having to select "Product or component" made me wonder where the issue would end up
While filing an issue in a hexpm-owned repo I thought there was some automation in place to auto-route issues from one repo to another. After looking at the diff of #4, I'm tempted to believe there is not, and the selection is only informational.
From the perspective of filing new issues, I found that experience off putting, too many form fields to go through.
If that is genuinely helping maintainers with the routing, then my suggestion is to include the intended repos next to each component.
Example
options:
- Hex.pm website or API (hexpm/hexpm)
- Hex CLI (hexpm/hex)
