   ### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
   
   #9132 introduced a way for anyone to take issues; I've been going through 
the backlog and noticed we have some issues where someone does a `take` but 
then there is no activity for a few months, prompting me to try check with the 
assigned person if they are still working on the issue.
   
   Ideally want to unassign them if they are no longer working on an issue so 
another person who might be interested in the issue can take over, or just to 
make it easier to filter issues which aren't actively being worked on by anyone.
   
   ### Describe the solution you'd like
   
   Another GitHub action to remove assignments by `take`s if there has been no 
activity for a certain period of time (e.g 3 months). Would first need to 
comment a warning of sorts (similar to the action that marks PR as draft) but 
actually unassigning them.
   
   Would need some considerations:
   
   - If there is a linked PR open, I guess we can't unassign them since the 
discussion may have moved to the PR
   - Maybe keep it very simple for now: if after a `take` there has been 0 
activity from the assignee the action will comment after 3 months asking if 
this is still active; if 7 days and no reply then unassign them
   
   ### Describe alternatives you've considered
   
   Don't do this if this isn't desirable. Some issues may be quite complex and 
need a lot of time to complete (though maybe we can assume a manual assignment 
overrides this so they won't get unassigned by the action, only if they were 
assigned via a `take`)
