Provides a Github action for tracking Github issues in the client repo and optionally notifying by email when an issue hits a specified number of upvotes.

Creates a table on the master branch README page with a list of currently open issues ordered by upvotes. In order to ensure the table stays up to date, use the on.schedule workflow event trigger syntax suggested below which will automatically check for changes every hour and commit changes only.

The SMTP password should be added to Github secrets for your repo. Also note that the GITHUB_TOKEN with relevant permissions is automatically generated by Github actions and can be referenced as shown below.
