Blueprint for gitlab-housekeeper automating repetitive developer tasks

Dylan Griffith requested to merge blueprint-of-automation-of-mr-creation into master

What does this MR do and why?

This blueprint documents the philosophy behind the "GitLab Housekeeper" gem which was introduced in !139492 (merged) and has already been used to create many merge requests.

The tool should be used to save developers from mundane repetitive tasks that can be automated. The tool is scoped to any task where a developer needs to create a straightforward merge request and is known ahead of time.

Screenshots or screen recordings

Screenshots are required for UI changes, and strongly recommended for all other merge requests.

How to set up and validate locally
