TASK DESCRIPTION
  **Steps to replicate the issue**:
  
  Try a sample similar to the documentation of Page.main_authors() 
<https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/master/api_ref/pywikibot.page.html#page._toolforge.WikiBlameMixin.main_authors>
 method but take a page which is not already cached upstream, for example
  
    >>> import pywikibot
    >>> pywikibot.config.max_retries = 3
    >>> site = pywikibot.Site('wikipedia:als')
    >>> page = pywikibot.Page(site, 'Python (Programmiersprache)')
    >>> auth = page.main_authors(onlynew=False)
    WARNING: WikiHistory timeout.
    Waiting 5.0 seconds before retrying.
    WARNING: WikiHistory timeout.
    Waiting 10.0 seconds before retrying.
    WARNING: WikiHistory timeout.
    Waiting 20.0 seconds before retrying.
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<pyshell#20>", line 1, in <module>
        auth = page.main_authors(onlynew=False)
      File "D:\pwb\GIT\core\pywikibot\page\_toolforge.py", line 108, in 
main_authors
        raise pywikibot.exceptions.TimeoutError(
    pywikibot.exceptions.TimeoutError: Maximum retries attempted without 
success.
  
  **What happens?**:
  The method retries to retrieve the data but fails with a timeout. The remote 
url is something like
  
    
https://wikihistory.toolforge.org//wiki/getauthors.php?page_id=6995757&wiki=dewiki&onlynew=0
  
  but the response is like
  
    
window.setTimeout("importScriptURI('//wikihistory.toolforge.org//wiki/getauthors.php?page_id=6995757&wiki=dewiki&onlynew=1&c=31&x='
 + (new Date()).getTime())", 60000);
  
  The problem might be that no jobs are running upstream but the queues are 
increasing:
  https://wikihistory.toolforge.org/admin.php
  
  Seems this is due to T320157 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T320157>: 
Grid engine was shut down and wh was not migrated to k8s.
  
  **What could be done here?**:
  
  - stop the wait cycles until there is any solution
  - wait for T320157 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T320157> is solved 
upstream and wh works again
  - find another solution e.g via
    - **wikihistory:** screenscraping from 
https://wikihistory.toolforge.org/wh.php?wiki=alswiki&page_title=Python%20(Programmiersprache)
    - **xtools:** screen scraping from 
https://xtools.wmcloud.org/articleinfo/als.wikipedia.org/Python%20%28Programmiersprache%29
      - Find an api for xtools 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/XTools/Authorship>
    - use **WikiWho <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WikiWho>** directly
