Hi Unfortunately, the fix in devscripts 2.20.3 doesn't work, because watch files don't use the GitHub API, but rather URLs such as https://github.com/osallou/cassiopee-c/tags
So different rate limiting rules apply, and authenticating using HTTP Basic Auth doesn't work. I ended up implementing a different workaround: when the upstream importer hits an error 429 for github, it then skips github for the remaining of the run. It means that we won't add junk about software hosted on github, but that they might get tested less frequently. Let's see if this fixes this problem... To count packages that still show 429 errors, use: select count(*) from upstream where watch_file ~ 'github' and warnings ~ '429'; At this point, we are down to 3919, compared to 5200+ before I deployed the fix.
