Proposal: hook rate limiting

[antoineco]

first of all thanks for this amazing project! I'm using it to automate all my Docker build pipelines 👍

I open this issue to actually suggest a new feature: a per-hook rate limit.

I have a case where a build job is being run multiple times in a row (a test matrix sort of) and sends a request to my hook every time it completes.

Since I know the build job is going to spam my hook at some point I would like to set a rate limit on that hook in order to either:

• Accept a request but ignore all subsequent requests for X seconds*
• Accept all requests but only perform the action if no request has been received in the last X seconds*

* I'm talking about valid requests.

Does it sound like a reasonable feature? Would you accept a PR for it?

Oh wow, that was a harsh close :)

Thought you saw my 👍 :-)

Anyways, I'll be more than glad to accept a PR for this feature, as I currently do not have enough time nor resources to dedicate myself to implementing a rock-solid solution to this problem :-)

No problem @adnanh, I perfectly understand. I didn't see your thumb up as Github doesn't notify on reactions unfortunately.
Anyway, I moved on since I posted my proposal but I still keep it in a corner of my head! Thanks for clarifying.
