**Describe the solution you'd like**

We need to implement functionality to sync OWASP Board of Directors (BOD) members into the Nest system for a given election year. The source of truth for candidates is the https://github.com/OWASP/www-board/blob/master/_data/board-history.yml

This task involves:
- Parsing YAML files in the source repository to extract candidate names.
- Creating EntityMember instances for each candidate:
- role must be set to EntityMember.Role.MEMBER.
- The EntityMember should be linked to the corresponding BoardOfDirectors instance for the correct year.

- Preparing for further manual verification:
- The created candidates will be fuzzy matched against existing github.User instances to link them automatically where possible.
- The final verification and confirmation will be done manually.

**Are you going to work on implementing this?**
