Implement support for rate limits from GitHub #237

@rickardl

Description

@rickardl

GitHub rate limits may apply to some actions when using the API, If we hit a rate limit, it's expected that we back off from making requests and try again later.

  • When you have been limited, use the Retry-After response header to slow down. The value of the Retry-After header will always be an integer, representing the number of seconds you should wait before making requests again. For example, Retry-After: 30 means you should wait 30 seconds before sending more requests.
  • Requests that create content which triggers notifications, such as issues, comments and pull requests, may be further limited and will not include a Retry-After header in the response. Please create this content at a reasonable pace to avoid further limiting.
