Developer tool for generating ACM officer file 🤖

[EthanThatOneKid]

The current list of officers used in this project is hard-coded in the lib directory. Preferably, this file should be generated by a script of some sort for the sake of a better developer experience.

We could create a workflow that updates the officer data (via automated PR) whenever a specific kind of GitHub issue is created by a contributor. This issue would be created using an issue template. The issue template would ask if we want to update/add officer data for one or more officers or delete one or more officers. The automated PR will succeed only if the issue opener is an authorized contributor.

I proved that it is possible to store the data in a JSON file (officers.json) in #154, so all the automated PR has to do is edit that one file.

The script used to create the necessary changes can just be written in Node.js to prevent any unneeded context-switching.

The neat thing about automating a PR is that Vercel should automatically build and deploy a preview to reflect the changes as well.

Note: this solution might be over-engineered, but feels like a fun introductory devops project nonetheless.
