Description

**Problem**

Sometimes a PR owner misses when a PR fails in bors and the PR gets forgotten about and left open.

**What we want**

We want some mechanism to detect when a PR has failed bors and been open long enough to have probably been forgotten about.

**Potential solution**

Add a scheduled GitHub Action on the repo to find these PRs, put a comment on them (at some periodic interval) and list all the PRs in this state in the job run output.

**Additional context**

This idea arose in [this Slack thread](https://cockroachlabs.slack.com/archives/CJ0H8Q97C/p1707371771091979).
