#3726 Thank everyone when the release goes out automagically

[chriskarlin]

Resolves #3726

Description

Added github action workflow file with a job that will be run on release/publish and comment on each pull request, that is part of the release, with a thank you note.
-> using my own fork of the github action since my PR to add author and title template var was not getting looked at
-> Known limitation: when PRs are linked to issue via linking by keywords, my forked action will not be able to pull author+title

Type of change

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  -> Github Action

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested the workflow within a private repository of mine through creation of issues -> pull request -> releases

Screenshots

@chriskarlin looks like the {author} part doesn't work, from the screenshot.

@cielf do we need the actual author name in the comment?

[chriskarlin]

@dorner yes, sorry I just put it there as a placeholder for now, I should have mentioned that. Haven’t gotten around looking into adding it to the actual action yet, might find some time tomorrow though!

[cielf]

@dorner, @chriskarlin It's definitely a plus if it's there -- and by author name, I mean author_id -- they'll get a more in-your-face notification if it's there, right?

Got a WIP PR for adding the author and title to the GHA here. Currently still not fully working, as I was getting permission issues "Failed to load title\" data-id=\"1885795064\" data-permission-text=\"Title is private\". Will be taking another look this afternoon

[chriskarlin]

Made some progress with the PR:

Only thing thats not working yet, is getting the author and title of Issues through linking using Closes keyword, as we the action doesn't pull any info for those issue at all (find issue through regex).

[chriskarlin]

After waiting many moons, it seems like my PR to add author and title to the GHA github-release-commenter is not getting merged/looked at (repo inactive). Talking to @dorner we decided to use my fork instead for now.

Alternatively, the original GHA could be forked by rubyforgood and the update pushed there instead

[dorner]

Thanks! Let's give this a shot!
