Description

There is a java app - duplicate detective developed by @spencerstith that finds duplicate questions and does reordering.

The goal is to use it to do a regular automatic cleanup. The easiest automation: run the CI/CD pipeline daily and create PRs that should be manually approved. Akin to dependabot.

For instance CircleCI gives 6000 free build minutes per month. Might be enough for us

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the duplicate detective Java tool, its input/output, and how to run it. Explore setting up a daily GitHub Actions workflow (or CircleCI) that runs the tool on the repository's questions and creates a pull request with changes. Consider using existing similar CI setups in other open source projects as reference. The issue mentions CircleCI's free tier, but evaluate if GitHub Actions is more suitable given the repository's language.
