Finally I started working on new Kibble:
https://github.com/apache/kibble/pull/8

I would like to propose introducing the following new concepts in new Apache 
Kibble:

1. DataSource - Github, Gitlab, Jira etc. - each data source would be a python 
package that would include logic for getting data from the external source as 
well as some metric and authentication mechanisms. 

2. DataType - in case of Github: issues, PRs, commits etc - each DataSource can 
define its own data types. Single data type should define methods for getting 
relevant data and way to persist them in Kibble - this would replace the 
concept of scanners.

Why? In this way Apache Kibble main aim and value would be building a framework 
for collecting projects information and serving them in useful, aggregated way. 
Having such a framework would make adding new data sources as simple as plug 
and play, thus allowing easy extension and possibility to build custom data 
source.

Let me know what do you think. I will definitely try to play with this idea in 
my PR.

Thanks,
Tomek
