Automate repo creation for contributors

[v1gnesh]

Feature Title

autorepo

Feature Description & Current Pain Points

Currently, when someone wants to work on a thingport, a zopen admin has to manually create a repo and setup the necessary access to the new repo for the contributor.

With GH actions and a new issue template, this can be automated.

Proposed Solution & Expected Behavior

Haven't checked if this exact code works but it uses actions/github-script and GH CLI.

issue-template.yaml:

name: Trigger Repository Creation
description: Use this template to request a new repository based on specific criteria.
title: "Create new repo for [Project Name]"
labels: ["repo-creation-request"]
body:
  - type: markdown
    attributes:
      value: |
        ### Guidelines
        - Use this template to request a new repository where the project name should be included in the title.
        - **Important**: Include the word "Trigger" in the title to activate the automation.

  - type: textarea
    id: repo-name
    attributes:
      label: Repository Name
      description: Please enter the desired name for the new repository.
      placeholder: Example: my-new-project
    validations:
      required: true

  - type: textarea
    id: description
    attributes:
      label: Description
      description: Describe the purpose or content of the repository.
    validations:
      required: false

create-repo:

            if (repoNameMatch) {
              return repoNameMatch[1].trim();
            }
            throw new Error('Repository name not found in issue body');

      - name: Create repository
        env:
