Hi Tobias, I consider you to be our JDO resident GitHub expert, so I thought I'd suggest that you consider becoming an "infra GitHub expert" and help infra in their mission with the repo for approved GitHub Actions developed by the ASF community <https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-actions>. (see below for details)
