Subject: [PATCH] External contributor auto-draft and dispatch pr-review event
 type (#20329)

# Introduction

## Auto draft
On external contributor PR creation auto draft it and comment stating
that it needs to be marked as ready for review when it is

## Caveats / future improvement
Lets iterate first but we can imagine future pain points such as:
- Cubic only runs on ready for review PRs
- Expected green ci before turning ready to be review ? ( we could
invoke cubic ourselves )\
- Auto close external contributors draft PR after x duration

## Auto review
Once a PR started to be review or is being synchronized then auto
dispatch auto review
