Every PR is also an issue, labels apply to both.
So for an issue, the label would imply that it reports a bug or
regression, and for a PR that it fixes it respectively.
Having two split labels for that seems a little unnecessary.
Or we could just not use the bug/regession label on PRs, cause they do
seem kinda off there.
