Resolve AttributeError in issue_filer.py

[AashutoshMurthy]

Safeguard the process of issue filing by ensuring the presence of attributes within Issue variants before accessing them.

This issue occurs due to the changes made in #5074. #5074 adds debugging logs, and one of the logs tries to access an attribute (component_id) of a class (Issue), resulting in the following error:
'Issue' object has no attribute 'component_id'

This issue has blocked the issue filing process.

The current changes aim to resolve this issue using getattr(), which checks if an attribute exists and only then accesses it.

Thanks for the quick fix! Using getattr() to handle the missing attribute looks like the right approach. This will unblock our workflow."

​*Hi Aashutosh,* ​I hope you are doing well. ​I saw your recent Pull Request (*#5154*) where you addressed the AttributeError in issue_filer.py. Thank you for working on this fix! ​I wanted to reach out because I am still learning the ropes of open-source contribution and reviewing issues. To be honest, I don't have extensive knowledge about all the rules and technical complexities of this project yet. ​Could you please help me understand if there are specific things I should look for when reviewing such PRs? Since I want to make sure the changes are perfectly fine before they move forward, your guidance on how to verify this fix would be very helpful for my learning process. ​Looking forward to hearing from you.
