Consider using a github lib to access the API

[tyll]

GitHub Python libs might already solve some problems that we are seeing with the API (pagination might be needed, handling request limits). On
Fedora there are these packages: python3-pygithub.noarch and python3-github3py.noarch Maybe they already solve such issues so that we do not need to re-invent the wheel.

Of these two, PyGithub looks better.

I just ran into an issue where I needed pagination - I'm bumping the priority of this one - @nhosoi

PyGithub does support paginated get for most objects/types

@ukulekek I believe you have been considering reusing some common code to set GitHub statuses as well - could it be used here?
