[Feature]: Automating issue assignment (vote)

[Parship12]

Requirement

I want issue assignment to support self assign via /assign. It will limit contributors to at most 2 assigned issues (similar to PR quota) and automatically handle inactivity by sending a reminder.
so that issue ownership will be clear, contributors can't hold multiple issues and inactive assignments don't block others.

The inactivity handling should like:

• send a reminder after about 5 days of inactivity
• unassign after 7 days without response or activity
• treat activity on a linked PR from the assignee as valid activity

Problem

Currently, there is no automated assignment control, which lead to multiple contributors working on the same issue. This sometimes results in multiple PRs opened for the same issue, causing duplicate effort from contributors and additional review overhead for maintainers.
