 Validate issue form submissions

-> As of version `v2.0.0`, this action has been converted to ESM. Because of
-> this, custom validation scripts must be provided in ESM syntax. If you are
-> using CommonJS, you will need to convert your scripts to ESM. See
-> [`team.js`](./.github/validator/team.js) for an example.
+## Important Updates
+
+- As of version `v3`, this action now requires `issues: write` permissions to
+  read and write issue comments. This is because the action now updates the
+  **same** comment instead of adding new ones.
+- As of version `v2`, this action has been converted to ESM. Because of this,
+  custom validation scripts must be provided in ESM syntax. If you are using
+  CommonJS, you will need to convert your scripts to ESM. See
+  [`team.js`](./.github/validator/team.js) for an example.
