This request has multiple goals, none of them are about the short name:

- Remove redundant or unused components (the latter only if no related repo or 
plugin can be found)
- Add the plugin suffix for components I skipped in the first run (because I 
e.g. didn't find the repo to confirm the plugin exists)
- Improve discoverability (for Jira's prefix search in the Component/s field), 
and in some rare cases readability of the component names

True, that's the only main difference for most of them.

However, as an example, there are over 30 plugins whose short name contain 
'jenkins', about a dozen of them are using it as prefix. Needless to say, this 
is redundant and makes the components more difficult to find.

And then there are plugins like those I mentioned whose display names are 
significantly different from their real names, for whatever reasons.

It really makes no sense to hide short names everywhere from users (AFAICT 
except the delete confirmation screen, which can probably be considered a bug), 
and then require them to use that short name to file an issue against a 
specific plugin.
