When the intention is to potentially create a new GitHub issue, the workflows in question need to set the permissions correctly. Otherwise the workflow runs may fail with:
which is an admittedly very cryptic way to say that the
GITHUB_TOKEN
used in the GitHub workflow run lacks a particular scope to perform the desired operation.Note: The
GITHUB_TOKEN
used to have read/write permissions for all scopes by default, but that changed to read-only as per https://github.blog/changelog/2023-02-02-github-actions-updating-the-default-github_token-permissions-to-read-only; That is the reason why this here change is necessary.This fixes #194
