Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Looks like https://github.com/psf/black-pre-commit-mirror/blob/91867dbada8a528dcc51a369d95a9d11a81a26a8/.github/workflows/mirror.yml#L7 runs at 5:43 am UTC. An aside, is it's too bad seconds aren't supported by cron otherwise we could have 5:43:21 😆
black==23.10.1 was just released an hour ago, but it won't propagate to black-pre-commit-mirror for about 9 hrs. I am wondering, is it possible to tighten up this timing?
Describe the solution you'd like
Having black's release pipeline trigger the mirror job in black-pre-commit-mirror. I think this is possible with GitHub actions.
It would also save GitHub CI resources 🌲 from avoiding unnecessary daily cron jobs in https://github.com/psf/black-pre-commit-mirror.

Research direction
Start by reading .github/workflows/mirror.yml in black-pre-commit-mirror, especially the cron entry at line 7, and inspect how Black's release pipeline could trigger it. Confirm the GitHub Actions cross-repository trigger mechanism and ensure new Black releases update the mirror without the daily cron job; done means the mirror is triggered by releases and the scheduled polling is no longer needed.
