Create backport bot for cherry-pick PRs
Bug fixes and other changes that we want to backport into release branches can add a lot of dev cycles. Making this process easier will reduce friction when doing releases.
We could use a bot with https://github.com/korthout/backport-action or https://github.com/marketplace/actions/backport-bot to simply add a label to a PR that we want backported into a release branch.
@sjberman the kubernetes-ingress repo uses a github workflow to accomplish this right now: https://github.com/nginx/kubernetes-ingress/blob/main/.github/workflows/cherry-pick.yml
fyi Currently, PR's created with GITHUB_TOKEN cannot trigger workflows & the bot cannot currently be used due to issues with SSO Once the SSO issue has been resolve the bot will be able to create PR's and trigger workflows
