If there's too much activity on the Somebody Should list (can there ever be too much activity on it...?!) then we hit the API rate-limit.

https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting apparently tells us how to switch to authenticated access, which gives us a better rate-limit.

This week's weeknotes took a loooong time to generate. The version kicked off by cron seemed to fail without reporting any failures. I started it manually and it was very slow when querying github. So maybe they've started doing some sort of throttling of unauthenticated access?

Might make sense to switch to the official Github API gem

Timed how long it's currently taking, and it was 498m54.136s, so only over 8 hours...
