Feature: Auto Close Linked Issues on PR Merge

[satyampsoni]

🔖 Feature description

We want to automate the process of closing issues when a related pull request (PR) is merged. Currently, it requires manual intervention to close issues once a PR is merged. .

🎤 Pitch / Usecases

Currently, when a PR that fixes or closes an issue is merged, the issue remains open until manually closed. This introduces unnecessary manual steps and can cause confusion for contributors and maintainers who rely on issues being updated correctly.

Implementing a GitHub Action that listens for merged PR events and automatically closes any issue linked to the PR. The action will check the PR description or comments for keywords like "Closes #<issue_number>" or "Fixes #<issue_number>" and close the referenced issue once the PR is merged.
