Thanks Sven.

>From a developer point of view the API is a part of the engine: same
repository, same build process, same release cycle, etc. So it makes
sense to have it as component. It may make less sense from the user
point of view. Next time, if you have doubts when deciding the
component, just use "General" or "RFEs". Actually, this particular
request, will probably need changes in multiple places, not just the
API, so the bug may be moved to other components.
