Describe the feature you'd like:

In the past, we launched a new cherry-picker tool to help contributors cherry-pick PR on the master branch to the related release branch, the robot will automatically submit a new PR.

However, when the code in the PR conflicts, this will require manual conflict resolution, the robot allows members with write permission in the repository to modify the submitted PR through the Allow edited by maintainer option.

For security reasons, we will no longer automatically add write permissions to the robot warehouse for the contributor.

But this brings a lot of trouble to contributors who don’t have permission. They don’t have permission to submit code for resolution when PR code conflicts.

Therefore, we need to develop a cherrypicker-like script to allow the contributor to quickly and easily pick the merged PR to the relevant release branch through simple interaction.

Do you have any ideas on how to implement it? (Optional)
