@bph would it be helpful to have a plugin in place for something like this? I have a plugin that can be modified for this if you'd like.

Thanks @ryanwelcher - That would be great. I am just not sure how easy it is to add 3rd party plugins to a .org network. Before we do that we need to have the checklist complete.

When I create this issue, I was more looking at the a GitHub Action to add this checklist to an issue when it made it into 2nd review column so when all checks are done, they can forward to "Ready to be Published".
Could you help with that, too? I haven't done anything with GitHub Actions + projects yet, but I know that it's possible :-)

Sure I can have a look, just need to understand the flow we're looking for.

I use the GitHub saved reply option for inserting checklists into issues, but an Issue template could also work since it's all within a single Repo. I'm not sure about the automation for the Project, there are some automations there, but it's pretty limited.
