Feature Proposal - Team Member OOO Alert in Issue Comments

Problem to solve

Oftentimes we tag a team member in issues only to realise days later that this person is OOO as Slack PTO Ninja or Email OOO are not integrated with GL issues. As a user commenting in issues I want to be able to see whether a team member is out of office when I tag them in the comment. This would help streamline/speed up the workflow contributing to iteration value, as I can ask another team member for support who is covering while they are OOO.

Intended users

Everyone

User experience goal

The user should be receiving an OOO notification in the comment field, once an OOO team member is tagged.
