[RFC]: Write custom scripts to leave comment for first issues and first PRs #47

@Planeshifter

Description

@Planeshifter

We currently use the official https://github.com/actions/first-interaction GitHub action to have the @stdlib-bot leave comments when someone creates an issue or PR for the first time.

Frequently, we encounter the bot posting on issues from people who are anything but first contributors. See here for a recent example:

stdlib-js/stdlib#5557 (comment)

It would be good to build our own scripts to leave these comments. The necessary logic will be similar to what has been implemented for #43, so this should be straightforward to do.

When changing this, we should also update the comment contents to contain more substantive information. E.g., when leaving a comment on a PR for a new contributor, we can link to the contribution docs and mention a few tools at their disposal such as slash commands.
