ci to auto merge upstream release and produce a release

[parisni]

It would automatically generate a release once upstream helix release something. Would this help ?

The proposal is to add a daily cronjob action:

1. Creates a branch, compare release tags to identify there is a new one
2. attenpt to merge upstream
3. Create a PR
4. if no merge conflict, merge the pr on master and create tag

Step 4 needs youvto create a github token with some grant on the project to be in the secret and used by gha to assume that identity

Not sure about step 4. Steps 1-3 would be great.

Let's start with semi automatic release.

Later on you can reconsider making this automatic with step 4.

Will work on this likely mid september.
