Label sets don't make sense to a new user #7812

Description

I have recently moved some repositories to Gitea and started using the issue tracker. When I first enter the labels menu, I see the first screenshot.

With the first repository I just created a new label as I assumed that the Label Set means that I am given a single label called "Default" which is not going to help me. With another repository I did accept the Default label set and was surprised that I was given actually useful labels (screenshot 2).

Request: could more information be added between the label set dropdown and the "Use Label Set" button? I wish it would have told me instead something like "This will create 7 labels; bug, duplicate, enhancement, help wanted, invalid, question and wontfix". I think having the label explanations visible wouldn't hurt either, but even without them, just the label names would be more helpful to know.

I am also wondering if I can return to this screen somehow with the repositories where I opted to not use a label set and import a label set regardless.
