[Infra] GitHub Actions triage pipeline for community issues #18

Description

@Z-M-Huang

User Story

As a project maintainer, I want new community issues automatically categorized and checked for duplicates so that the backlog stays manageable as the community grows.

Problem

As VCP gains contributors, manual issue triage will become a bottleneck. Auto-labeling and duplicate detection keeps the backlog organized and reduces maintainer burden.

Investigation

GitHub Actions can:

  • Trigger on new issue creation
  • Read issue body and apply labels based on content
  • Search existing issues for potential duplicates
  • Comment with links to related issues or existing standards

Scope

GitHub Actions workflow for issue management. This covers:

  • Auto-labeling by category (security, architecture, code quality, etc.)
  • Duplicate detection with comment linking
  • Linking to relevant existing VCP standards

Out of scope: PR review automation, CI/CD for standards validation.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Workflow triggers on new issues
  • Auto-labels by category (security, architecture, code quality, etc.)
  • Checks for potential duplicates and comments with links
  • Links to relevant existing VCP standards if applicable
