Description

We need a GH_TOKEN is a fine-grained PAT with:

actions: write
contents: write
issues: write
pull-requests: write
metadata: read

So
https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#pre-filling-fine-grained-personal-access-token-details-using-url-parameters

We can pre-fill and not use:

https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new
  ?name=Repo-reading+token
  &description=Just+contents:read
  &target_name=octodemo
  &expires_in=45
  &contents=read

But maybe a link like this:

https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new
  ?name=Accessibility-scan+token
  &description=GitHub+A11y+Scanner
  &actions=write
  &contents=write
  &issues=write
  &pull_requests=write
  &metadata=read

Correct?
