Scanning and updating issues

[jlewi]

Opening this thread to figure out the best way to download and stay up to date on issues.

I think we want a level based approach.

An edge based approach would be is if we setup a webhook to listen for changes to issues and then record those changes. The problem with this approach is that if our application is down and we miss some events we now have to figure out how to recover.

I think a good approach might be to continually scan repositories and fetch updates since some time, T. So T is a watermark that we continually update.

We can use GitHub search to fetch issues that have been updated since some T; https://help.github.com/en/articles/searching-issues-and-pull-requests#search-by-the-title-body-or-comments
