Description
If Mergify fails to cherry-pick commits and thus to create a backport PR, it would be nice to highlight the author about that.
Really similar to the recent conflict action.
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing conflict action and the backport pull request creation path, then trace how cherry-pick failures are handled. Done means that when backport creation fails, the relevant author is highlighted in a way consistent with the conflict behavior.
