Proposal: AGNTCY GitHub App

[ramizpolic]

Summary

Add a GitHub App to consolidate service accounts, automate workflows, and enhance security across all repositories in our GitHub organisation.

Example usage of GH App includes: managing project issues, PRs, discussions, release coordination, automated contributions, dependency updates, and overall management within/across repos by a central user/app.

Why GitHub App?

Security Benefits:

• Replace several existing service accounts with single, secure app
• Fine-grained permissions vs. personal access tokens
• Short-lived, auto-rotating tokens
• Complete audit trail across all org repositories

Service Account Consolidation:

Currently we maintain separate service accounts for:

• Release automation
• Documentation updates
• Contribution workflows
• CI/CD operations
• Cross-repo synchronization

A GitHub App eliminates this complexity with unified access management.

Automation Capabilities:

• Issues and PR checks
• Cross-repository release coordination
• Documentation sync and generation
• Dependency monitoring across all projects
• Standardized workflows org-wide

Developer Experience:

• Unified tooling across all repositories
• Consistent automation patterns
• Simplified onboarding for new repositories

We want to leverage GH App in Directory asap, so any recommendations/help on this would be highly appreciated.

OK. Let's do that.
