Consider allowing blank issues #5

Description

@rhcarvalho

I'm trying to extract new issues from comments on hexpm/bob#289.

While the move to standardize issues with the org level template and help guide contributions to the correct place is great for casual contributors, the original experience filing hexpm/bob#289 was that I knew I'm in the right repo, but further having to select "Product or component" made me wonder where the issue would end up. Sorry that's a different issue.

I noticed I cannot bypass the forms and create a blank issue. I didn't find discussion about this specific point, so maybe it was not a deliberate decision.

blank_issues_enabled: false

@ericmj would you be open to enabling blank issues? This is how it looks like (first screenshot in the link): https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/101943, and the docs https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-issue-templates-for-your-repository#configuring-the-template-chooser.
