packager: Automatically push family updates
Since google/fonts now uses Github Actions, we could make an action to run the packager on each upstream family file so the latest fonts are auto pushed on a specific day.
It appears that GA has a feature similar to cron so it does seem very feasible.
@graphicore Does the packager run a checksum diff before submitting a PR?

No, but it uses git, so we should be able to easily check if there are any changes in the branch compared to master.

If we run updates on the upstream master branch HEAD we may just push a lot of work in progress. There's no rule that says the contents of the upstream master branch must always be in a publishable state. A better solution would be e.g. to configure the upstream.yaml to push from a specific tag instead of a branch, e.g. latest. But that would require the upstream maintainer to maintain that latest tag, and hence it wouldn't be fully automated any more.
