Release bot goes into infinite loop

[geekyme]

Context:

• We want branch protection
• We want to configure secrets on this repo, but secrets should not be shared to forks
• Github workflows should still work even if PRs are opened from forks

Ref https://github.com/taiwangoldcard/website/pull/143, this change was commited in an attempt to make the bot release changes made from PR forks.

The secrets configured on this repo correctly propagate to the bot, however the bot goes into a release loop:

If we use:

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - master
    types: [closed]

the loop will be gone but the bot only gets the secrets if the PR is NOT opened from a fork. Looking for suggestions to fix this without removing branch protection.
