Why?
PRs are usually open for a few days until a maintainer can take a look. When this happens a Pull Request (PR) might already be outdated without the author being notified of this. A maintainer either has to resolve them (which takes time) or has to ping the author. This creates a feedback loop that can be reduced by this action.
This actions achieve this with minimal noise (no comment bloat) by adding a label to a PR if it has merge conflicts. This means the author has a single overview of which PRs need a rebase by using their list of created PRs. At the same time the maintainer has a simple filter for PRs that have merge conflicts.
