1320945 - non-guided enter_bug should pre-select the "Untriaged" component if it exists

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Bug Creation/Editing, enhancement)

Description

[:glob ✱]

when the non-guided enter_bug form loads a component is not selected by default, and the form cannot be submitted without selecting a component.

this has led to reports filed against components that are visible near the top of the list.

perhaps it would be better to pre-select the "Untriaged" component if one exists (and a component was not provided on the query-string).

people paying attention to the component should continue to make a correct selection, while providing a reasonable default for everyone else.

Since the presence of an 'untriaged' component depends on the project, is this something we want to make programatic: 

```
if (!url.hasComponent() && product.hasUntriagedComponent()) {
    form.component = 'untriaged';
} 
```

Or should the default component of a product be a configuration option?

For Core and FFx, the 'untriaged' queue is managed by Softvision, should this be 'untriaged' or 'general'? 

This will help with mis-categorized bugs, but want a solution that is not "hacky" to do this.
