This plugin automatically creates issues when a period of time passes.

In some projects there are tasks that need to be assigned on a schedule. Such as check the ssl registration once per year or run security checks every 3 months

After you installed the plugin you can add it as a module to a project that already exists or activate it as default module for new projects. On each project it will add a new tab named "Periodic Task" - just go there to add your tasks.
