This GHA posts comments to PRs if a dependency change is going to be backported to a release branch.

If a PR has diffs detected in go.mod files (root and nested locations) and the PR has a label containing "backport" then this message will be posted to the PR:

The comment will be removed if the PR is updated to:

  • Remove the backport label
  • Remove diffs in go.mod files

This automation is a way to deal with lack of fully-automated Mend scanning, see #37584
