Add automated system to remind assigned contributors and free up stale assignments:

  • contributor-reminders.yml: Scheduled daily check that:

    • Sends friendly reminder at 7 days without activity
    • Sends second reminder at 14 days with unassign warning
    • Unassigns and re-labels as 'help wanted' at 21 days
    • Skips issues with linked PRs or blocking labels
    • Supports dry-run mode for testing
  • issue-assignment-tracking.yml: Real-time event handling that:

    • Welcomes new assignees with timeline expectations
    • Clears reminder labels when assignees comment
    • Clears labels when assignee opens linked PR
    • Auto-adds 'help wanted' when last assignee leaves

This improves contributor experience by setting clear expectations
while ensuring stale assignments don't block other contributors.
