Create GitHub Action to automatically back-port PRs between branches #2014

@joshlf

Description

@joshlf

For example, #1997 was originally submitted against v0.8.x and merged as dc537e7. It was then manually backported to main in #2013.

Instead, we'd like to have a GitHub Action that we can manually trigger from the GitHub web UI that will create a new PR from the commit resulting from the old PR (in the above example, dc537e7). This action will need to take:

  • The commit hash to back-port
  • The target branch for the new PR

It should be possible to adapt our existing release-crate-version.yml workflow.
