Issue Management

Automatically manage issue comments. This action:

• Add a needs-triage label when an issue is opened
• Adds a waiting-for-author label when a team member has responded
• Adds a waiting-for-team label when the author has responded
• Adds a closed-by-team label when the issue is closed by a team member
• Adds a closed-by-author label when the issue is closed by the issue author
• Adds a necromancer label when the issue is commented on when it has been closed for a defined period (default 7 days). Collaborator comments do not trigger this label

These labels can then be used to build up a search to see which issues need your attention, or to report on closed issues using the API in the future.

To sync these labels to your repository, add the action then trigger a workflow_dispatch event in the Actions tab.
