github OAuth authentication need ?

[Olivier Berger]

Hi Sandro (et al),

There currently is an issue with the GitHub token, I think :
almost all of :
 $ grep github.com log/log_2015-11-19
reports 401 Unauthorized errors :-(

This is probably linked to testing the tool for our students project, or
my local attempts, and consequences.

I'm not sure I understand the need for authenticating to github, though,
as we're doing only read-only queries and some kind of throttling.

Can you share a bit more details ?

I'd like to make the token configurable in the yaml file (and possibly
document its generation) but I'm in doubt about its actuall need.

In any case something should be done to either regenerate a token or
make rid of it in the running instance of the code on sonntag :-/

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the mess we might have caused.

Best regards,
