Action is not certified by GitHub

[ahatzz11]

I noticed in the marketplace that this action is verified by the creator org of github, but it isn't considered certified by GitHub:

Compare this to something like the checkout action and notice that it doesn't have the disclaimer. I'm not sure how certain actions get certified by GitHub, but I think this action should get marked as such. Maybe another good reason to have it live in actions/?

@ahatzz11 I took a look into this, it looks like we show that message: "[action name] is not certified by GitHub ..." whenever the repository owner is not named actions.

It looks like the repository for the action is github/stale-repos, which is not owned by actions, hence why this message appears. I suppose there is a good argument to be made for also supporting github as an owner, but for consistency maybe the action should be transferred to the actions org.

@camchenry Thanks! That link you sent must be an internal thing, I can't see that 🙂

I wrote a little bit about the org that this repo lives in here: https://github.com/github/stale-repos/issues/19 - Personally I think having all of GitHub's actions inside of actions/ makes the most consistent experience for the community at large since that is where most of the official actions live. It sounds like the OSPO and Actions teams are different, hence the org difference, but I think some internal collaboration to provide a unified experience to the open community is the right way to go.
