[Dev] Use merge button instead of merge script #55475
Description
Describe the enhancement requested
During the years I've heard committers complaining about not being able to use the merge button on GH, we could automate some of the things the merge script does and we could just use the merge button instead of requiring everyone to use a GH token.
Today the script:
- Sets the milestone
- Closes the issue
- Builds the squash commit message
- Performs sanity checks like title and components
If the commit message changes (Signed-off-by: is removed) we probably would have to change the post-04-website.sh to count mergers from the GitHub API instead of commit trailers.

+1 to this and potentially simplifying things.

Ideally this would also assign the issue to the PR author.
