Description

When there are two concurrent submissions, they will both be referenced to main, so will have the same id number. That means merges will have to be done one at a time, and after the first, the action for the subsequent submission should be rerun. Perhaps open issues with new-contribution should all rerun upon changes to main?

Research direction

Start by tracing the action that handles open issues labeled new-contribution and how submissions reference main and receive id numbers. The work is done when concurrent submissions are handled without conflicting ids, with the intended rerun behavior defined and verified.
