Implementers may appreciate a GitHub action which automatically sends PRs to their repo to update the test suite.

As a concrete example, python-jsonschema has a git-subtree of this suite here, and would benefit from automated pull requests whenever the main branch of this repository is updated.

To do this in general, such a github action would need to be configured with the path within a repo where the subtree lives, likely need to support both git-subtree as well as git-submodule (and possibly git-subrepo), and allow for passing options to the subtree/submodule command (e.g. if someone wanted a git subtree pull --squash to be the PR).

It's unclear that this should live in this precise repo rather than an adjacent one, but putting it here to track/ack the request.
