When an issue is closed, notify maintainers of repositories that refer to it #38202

Hello! When I'm implementing a workaround for an issue, I'll often leave a link to the issue as a code comment. It would be amazing if, when the linked issue is closed, the repo maintainers got some sort of notification (maybe even an automatically created issue) saying that a linked issue has been resolved - this would be likely to allow removing such workarounds from the downstream repository. |

This feels like something that could be completed with a github action workflow. The trigger would be issue closed, you could configure the notification to yourself in a bunch of different ways. Send an email, or if you'd like to keep it in GitHub, create a new issue automatically. |

As I understand, this would require the action to be added to the upstream? |

ah, I think I get it - the action could run in my repo periodically, and when it sees a link to a closed issue it could do the actual reporting. I think that'd be good enough, it doesn't need to be instantaneous. |

Solution in comment but issue still open (because issue still open?) |

It's a discussion so I don't think it can be closed per se. There's a solution that's been marked as an answer so I guess that's it |
