Issue creation as a contribution

[jeaye]

The Github profile page also takes into account issue creation as part of the contributions, but it seems github-contribs does not. Is there any reason why this wasn't included? Can it be added?

Hi @jeaye :)

Is there any reason why this wasn't included?

No special reason, I just didn't need it for https://github.com/AurelienLourot/ghuser.io and I wanted to avoid unnecessary HTTP GETs because of the rate limit.

Can it be added?

Yes :) I'll try to do it today. I'll probably make it a --flag and not change the default behavior.

[jeaye]

Sweet! Thanks for the quick and helpful reply. An optional flag for this sounds good to me. :)

[lourot]

Bear with me please :) I have implemented the whole thing but at the last moment I discovered that it wasn't very reliable. So I dug a bit and this is what happens: bd745c8#diff-04c6e90faac2675aa89e2176d2eec7d8R72

TL;DR "hot issues" need to be fetched differently from "non-hot" ones.

I have now also written a failing unit test for this and I need to implement this part as well. I hope I won't hit anything else.

done :)
