This commit integrates the backport-github-action [1] GitHub Action. It automatically creates PRs for the branches specified via labels on another PR. For instance, if a PR to master has the following labels: - Needs Backport - Needs Backport-v3.2 - Needs Backport-v3.1 It'll create two other PRs, cherry-picking the commits on v3.2 and v3.1 branches. The action is triggered whenever: - A PR with those labels is merged - A closed PR has those labels added After the action runs, the "parent" PR is updated with a status report, informing of any encountered error (e.g., merge conflicts). We've chosen this action over the Backporting [2] action because the former has support for PRs containing multiple commits, which corresponds to our current flow. At the same time, the latter only works with single-commit PRs. 1 - https://github.com/sqren/backport-github-action 2 - https://github.com/marketplace/actions/backporting
