Description

After searching through the open issues to attempt to close resolved or stale issues, I began to search through for potential duplicates. This had gotten me thinking that it might be helpful to add some sort of bot or action to check for potential duplicates and report them to the issue author.

I found an action which seems to do just that: https://github.com/wow-actions/potential-duplicates
