[Other issue]: Github Board workflows

[nickvisut]

What is the issue you are reporting?

We have recently added several columns to the Board to improve process. They are as follows:

• In Review
• Merged
• in QA

This can be helpful. However, it becomes more burdensome and error-prone to maintain the Board without workflow automation (docs: 1, 2, 3). Currently, there is no automation for ease of use of our Github Board located at https://github.com/orgs/sfbrigade/projects/7.

Here are some possible workflows (not comprehensive):

• when Board item is marked as "Done", also mark Issue as Closed (https://github.com/sfbrigade/compass has this set up somehow, see https://github.com/orgs/sfbrigade/projects/6/workflows/3444716 and attached screenshot) - implemented here: https://github.com/orgs/sfbrigade/projects/7/workflows/27532189
• when item is done w/Development, move status to "In Review"
• when item has been reviewed and merged, move status to "Merged"

Editing Board default workflows can be done here: https://github.com/orgs/sfbrigade/projects/7/workflows (docs). Custom workflows can be done in YML (docs, more docs)

We can also come up w/better names for Board columns and perhaps expand with more columns (for example, similar to Kanban with "Ready for" columns). We can also use Labels in addition to/instead of columns in some cases (TODO: split this out to another Issue)

Compass configuration for first checkbox:

NOTE: It appears as if our project has the same trigger, but perhaps it only goes in the "other" direction. Will have to investigate further.
