Description

There is no reason to pull down and try to reprocess every issue when we know which one has changed. The change is pretty easy to make and will stop GitHub throttling actions for overuse of the APIs.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reading the new_issue.yml workflow and identify how it currently selects issues to process. Update the workflow so a change processes only the issue that triggered it, then verify that unrelated issues are no longer fetched or reprocessed and API usage is reduced.
