Thank you box should not include bots

[tellison]

The Adoptium website thanks contributors by showing a box at the bottom of each page.

This thank you randomly selects a contributor from various project repositories, however, it currently includes automated bot "contributions".

The code should be updated to ignore known bots from the thank-you (by selecting a new contributor who is not in a list of known bots).

... you get the idea :-)

Seeing multiple times where the thank you box is not being populated on a page load.

I suspect that if the random page selected only has one contributor (a bot) then the current fix loops forever, so should choose another random page and contributor if a bot was initially selected.

Ahh yes, some wonky coding from me there, I guess we need to add a second check and break the while loop once we have an acceptable contributor

[tellison]

if the selected contributor is a bot, just pick an entirely new page and try again. It's random, not fair :-)

@zdtsw @gdams can we close this issue?

I think this can be closed, it doesn't seem to be an issue anymore
