Mention MR assignees instead of author in QA issues

Paul Gascou-Vaillancourt requested to merge qa-issue-mention-assignee into master

What does this MR do and why?

This changes who is pinged in QA issues. We previously pinged the MR author, but they might not be the MR's DRI anymore once it is deployed in staging. The MR assignees should generally be more up-to-date and reflect who the actual DRI is when the changes are ready to be verified. If the assignee(s) cannot be found, we fall back on the author anyways.

This aligns with a Threat Insights initiative where we have implemented a PTO handoff policy that involves assigning in-flight MRs to another teammate when going on leave so that they can perform the verification.
