Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

GitHub introduced "issue type":
* https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/configuring-issues/managing-issue-types-in-an-organization
* https://github.blog/changelog/2025-01-13-evolving-github-issues-public-preview/

We're using `Type: enhancement`/`Type: bug`/`Type: usage` issue labels for issue types.

How about using "issue type" instead of "issue label" for issue types?
