feat: automate creation of new weekly issue

Added a new Python script to automate the creation of new weekly issues for the site. The script determines the latest issue number, generates a new one, and includes creation of a cover image with relevant dates. This streamlines the weekly update process and ensures consistency.

This script is work in progress and will get additional features.
