Pull request overview
Restricts the reusable “workflow failure issue” workflow so it only opens/comments/closes issues when the calling repository owner is the open-telemetry organization, preventing fork-owned repositories from creating failure-tracking issues.
Changes:
- Adds a job-level
if: github.repository_owner == 'open-telemetry'guard to skip the issue-management job outside the OpenTelemetry org. - Updates documentation to describe the new org-only execution behavior.

Restrict the workflow failure issue job to callers owned by the
open-telemetryorganization. Reusable workflows execute in the caller's context, so this prevents fork runs from opening failure issues while allowing official OpenTelemetry repositories to share the guard instead of repeating repository-specific conditions.
