GitHub Actions for Wikidata updates and NSI releases

[UKChris-osm]

I think the addition of the GitHub Actions build script bot is great, well done @Cj-Malone for that - but could the same concept be used for Wikidata updates and for NSI Releases?

I'm very much against automatic releases. People could just easily sneak in vandalism and then it would get released without anyone seeing it.

Automatic Wikidata updates might work but then we need to manage credentials somewhere and check in the results - and again, then nobody is looking at what the script does and I don't feel good about that.

It doesn't help the supervision piece, but I have success in using GitHub secrets in Actions to update Wikidata automatically for https://github.com/GA-Kevin-Codes/Wikidata-Sports. The bigger concern would be how frequently to do the script as the few times Ive ran it it takes a bit and gets tripped up somewhere (back to the supervised point). Actions would be long running and simply fail unless there's a more robust way to alert to errors.

Also worth noting, GitHub Actions has been absolutely terrible for automatic runs via cron for me, so don't expect rock solid reliability there.

Not to discourage! I think it would be great! Just needs some thinking.
