Add a do not merge label that prevents merging #1684
Description
Discussed in #1429

Would it be useful to have a do not merge label?
Maybe the PR could have a job that fails if the label is applied too.
Example implementation from here: https://www.jessesquires.com/blog/2021/08/24/useful-label-based-github-actions-workflows/#updated-21-march-2022
name: Do Not Merge
on:
pull_request:
types: [synchronize, opened, reopened, labeled, unlabeled]
jobs:
do-not-merge:
if: ${{ contains(github.event.*.labels.*.name, 'do not merge') }}
name: Prevent Merging
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Check for label
run: |
echo "Pull request is labeled as 'do not merge'"
echo "This workflow fails so that the pull request cannot be merged"
exit 1
