[ARROW-15456] [Release] Automatize source verification task submission

• Type: New Feature
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved

Description

The workflow would look like this:

git push -u apache release-<version>
git push -u apache release-<version>-rc<rc-number>
git push -u apache apache-arrow-<version>

dev/release/02-source.sh <version> <rc-number>
dev/release/03-source-verify.sh <version> <rc-number>

Where 03-source-verify.sh would create a pull request and submit crossbow source verification tasks by either:
a. placing a github comment triggering the comment bot
b. calling crossbow locally then placing a comment to the PR using the same archery.crossbow.CommentReport class

I'd suggest to use gh cli tool for implementation.

The resulting PR should look like this https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12262
