Description

### Feature Request

When a contributor open a PR before we set a Lead on the issue, the PR is unassigned... And then once we set the Lead of the issue, the PR does not get automatically updates (i.e. must be updated manually).

This feature proposes a github action to listen for updating/adding of the `Lead` label and updating the corresponding PR w/ assignee

Related to #9212
