Rick roll triagers on/near April 1st (#184355)

Triagers use this script to open all GitHub issues/PRs in new tabs. When
the date is near April Fool's Day, then one of the tabs will be the rick
roll video.

## Open questions

* Does anyone still use this script or am I mostly rickrolling myself?
Lots of people using AI for triage now.
* Currently this will rick roll people +/- 1 week from April Fool's Day.
Is that too much?
* Should I be disciplined for wasting company resources by submitting
this PR?
