Feature: Add `/assign-previous-commenter`

Type of feature

💡 Feature

Current behavior

Contributor posts texts, because they is not aware of /assign-me:

There is no possiblity to comment something to have this magic of assignment (and unassignent aftter a timeout) working.

Suggested solution

Add /assign-previous-commenter which triggers the assignment of the previous (!) comment.

Advanced version could be /assign {url to issue comment}

Example:

/assign https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/10418#issuecomment-2401128647

This would then assign the poster of that comment to the current issue.

Maybe /assign-last-commenter is the better name - to have a clear indication who is meant.

OK, previous might be even better ^^

I’ve opted for /assign @<username> (still in draft and untested) instead of /assign-previous.

The reason is simple:

• If two people comment on the same issue and you want to assign it to the first person, /assign-previous would assign it to the last commenter, which may not be what you intend.

Using the username directly gives more control. Thoughts?

Very nice idea! I just didn't see this option 😅.
