https://github.com/boostorg/wave/pull/235/files should be a good example


The template in Boost.CI 
(https://github.com/boostorg/boost-ci/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml) 
is also updated:
https://github.com/boostorg/boost-ci/commit/d6ccde90dc7c5adac3fabc018f70dab04099d117

https://github.com/boostorg/boost-ci/commit/cd30b7b67cc4fa366731932a616d5c90f05081dc


That changeset is larger though as the conditional use of v3 or v4 
actions was also removed.

Maintainers are invited to copy that workflow file at any time. We try 
to keep it generic and up to date.
Maybe we could make use of "Reusable workflows" [1] such that the steps 
can be in a single place so changes for multiple repos can be made much 
easier.
Not sure how many maintainers would be willing to give up a bit of 
control for that.
