Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Often, when an issue is closed in a repository, there isn't a direct way to acknowledge the contributor's effort or provide a friendly closure message. This lack of communication can make contributors feel undervalued and discourage further participation in the project.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see an automated comment feature implemented, where a predefined greeting message is automatically posted on the closed issue. This message would thank the contributor for their contribution, acknowledge their effort, and encourage them to continue participating in the project.
Describe alternatives you've considered
One alternative could be manually adding comments to each closed issue, but this would be time-consuming for repository maintainers, especially in projects with high issue activity. Another alternative could be implementing a generic closure message, but a personalized message would be more appreciated by contributors.
Additional context
This feature aims to improve the overall contributor experience within the project by fostering a more positive and appreciative atmosphere. By automatically greeting contributors upon issue closure, we can strengthen community engagement and encourage ongoing participation.
What problem is this feature trying to solve?
This feature is trying to solve the problem of contributors feeling undervalued or unappreciated when their issues are closed without acknowledgment.

How do we know when the feature is complete?
The feature can be considered complete when an automated greeting comment is successfully posted on each closed issue, containing a personalized message that acknowledges the contributor's effort and encourages further participation. Additionally, feedback from contributors regarding the effectiveness of the greeting message can help determine the completeness of the feature.
