Description:
------------
The bugs.php.net website allows reporting issues in general, whether or not 
they are bugs, as the options of the Bug Type field imply. However, the label 
of that very field displays a terminological bug in the way the website calls 
issues.

Pretty much every reference to issues on the site uses the term "bug". For 
example:
The Send bug report button.
The Bug Type field
The field description of fields such as Password.
The Note field's contents.
The text above the form at https://bugs.php.net/report.php
The "report a bug" link

These should refer to issues as "problems" or "issues", or some other term 
general enough to include issues which are not bugs. When referring to "bug 
reports", the term "ticket" can be used.


By the way, for what it's worth, the options of the Bug Type field do not make 
sense as they are not exclusive (for example, a bug can be a documentation 
problem and a change request can be a bug report).
