Feature Idea: Enhance autoCreate to create dead letter queues and redrive policies. about serverless-plugins

Hello! Is it possible to contribute to this issue? If so, do you have any contributing guidelines?

here's a PR to allow auto-creating queues when you don't actually want to handle those events in a lambda:

https://github.com/CoorpAcademy/serverless-plugins/pull/172/files

functions:
  doStuffAsync:
    handler: src/handlers/doStuffAsync.handler
    events:
      - sqs:
          arn:
            Fn::GetAtt:
              - FifoQueue
              - Arn
  # this is for hacking serverless-offline-sqs to auto-create the DLQ for local development
  offlineAsync:
    handler: src/handlers/offlineAsync.handler
    events:
      - sqs:
          enabled: false
          arn:
            Fn::GetAtt:
              - DeadLetterFifoQueue
              - Arn

it's a little hacky, i know, but it gets the job done

Right! I did the same as a workaround, I created a "fake" consumer just to make the lib create the DLQ. I wonder why you needed to make code changes for that!
I'll review the PR!

I needed the code changes to ensure that the fake consumer handler didn't actually consume messages off of SQS, because my use case requires consuming them in a long-running process outside of the serverless stack.
