Hi, I sent the following emails to the github list, but they never seem to got in. If they did, then I apologize for resending them.
Essentially I offer a workaround to retrieve a list of authors of a repository using the google appengine.

Any ideas on this? I have implemented the above approach here: http://repos.sympy.org/ and it seems to be working, e.g.: http://repos.sympy.org/hooks/repos/agZzeW1weTJyEQsSClJlcG9zaXRvcnkYwRIM/ I am using the appengine's task queue and I am restricting github API calls to 55 per minute, to be sure I don't break the 60 requests per minute limit. But obviously, if the same thing could be achieved by just one API call (I don't know), it'd be much less wasteful.
