In #35577, I brought up that the license updating could be automated with relative ease using @gr2m's create-or-update-pull-request-action. I spent some time today between work getting this working. You can find an example in bnb#2 of how it works - specifically, note that the first commit (my commit!) removes the line that #335577 added, and then the action adds it back once it's done.
The action currently is set to allow for two triggers:
workflow_dispatch
trigger. This is for the case where someone from the TSC or core knows there's an update and would prefer to not wait.Checklist
