Avoid reassigning issues for verification

Dominic Bauer requested to merge avoid-reassignment-for-verification into master

What does this MR do and why?

Currently, vacant Issues of the Security Policies/Threat Insights group labelled with workflowverification are assigned a random group member. This suffers from the problem where someone unassigns themselves from an Issue, and gets immediately reassigned to the Issue by the bot due to bad luck.

This MR avoids this by determing the most recently unassigned username, and excluding it from the random sample.

Expected impact & dry-runs

These are strongly recommended to assist reviewers and reduce the time to merge your change.

See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/triage-ops/-/tree/master/doc/scheduled#testing-with-a-dry-run on how to perform dry-runs.
