Built-in author and merger options for assignee fields
The assign, copy, and backport actions now accept {{ author }} (and {{ merged_by }} for copy/backport) as named, built-in options for their assignee lists.
You can now assign pull requests to their author with the {{ author }} option — and, in copy and backport, to the user who merged the original pull request with {{ merged_by }}. The dashboard offers them as named choices (“Pull request author” and “User who merged the pull request”), and existing configurations keep working unchanged.
