    CI: Add backporting bot (#4795) · 56201964
    Oliver Tale-Yazdi authored
    Adds a bot that automatically opens MRs into the `stable2407` branch
    when the `A4-needs-backport` label is applied to a merged MR.

    # Backporting
    
    This document explains how to backport a merged PR from `master` to one
    of the `stable*` branches. Backports should only be used to fix bugs or
    security issues - never to introduce new features.
    
    ## Steps
    
    1. Fix a bug through a PR that targets `master`.
    2. Add label `A4-needs-backport` to the PR.
    4. Merge the PR into `master`.
    5. Wait for the bot to open the backport PR.
    6. Ensure the change is audited or does not need audit.
    7. Merge the backport PR. 
    
    The label can also be added after the PR is merged.
    
    ## Example
    
    For example here where the dev triggered the process by adding the label
    after merging:
    
    
    ![backport-ex2](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c7b686db-a0fe-41f1-9d6f-959a5a7097b1)
