SWE-agent as a github action or bot

[kripper]

Automatically process SWE-agent repo issues.
Investing effort in this more complex feature will accelerate/leverage future development of SWE-agent itself.

A github action to easily copy to other repos would be great 👍

There's #84, but note that this is dangerous because of potentially escalating costs without further safeguards.

sweep.dev has a really nice getting started workflow:

• Authorize sweep.dev access to your github repos
• Add a "sweep" label to any existing repo
• Title any new issue "Sweep: "
• The bot comments on the existing issue
• A PR shows up

A similar workflow with the security params thought through would be great --> is there a github security feature to restrict certain kinds of issue manipulation to the maintainers only that SWE-agent could hook into and be safe by default?

I think this could be a really cool addition. We welcome contributions here. I also registered the github username @SWE-agent so we could use that for this.
