REQUEST: Repository maintenance on opentelemetry-collector-contrib

[ArthurSens]

Affected Repository

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib

Requested changes

Review Github Action permissions, allowing it to create issues.

Purpose

We're setting up automation that creates new issues when tests fail on the main branch (open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib#38270), and when calling the GitHub API we're failing with the error below:

Failed to create GitHub Issue	{"error": "POST https://api.github.com/repos/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/issues: 403 Resource not accessible by integration []"}

To be transparent, I'm not 100% sure if this is a repository settings problem or something else, but I'm running out of ideas 😅.

The idea is based on this discussion: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/60820#discussioncomment-6445895

Expected Duration

Permanently if this is indeed what was missing to make the workflow work. If it's not, we can revert the new permissions.

hi @ArthurSens! the default GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't have write permission when github actions are run from PRs (but it does when the github action is run from main)

Hmmmm, I see... that explain things. @mx-psi should we try it together at KubeCon if you have free time? I can clean up that PR and we coordinate the merge to test

Sure, let's do that!
