    Wow, really cool. I feel like using Github like this could really take off. Free storage and compute and scheduling. I'm definitely going to keep this in mind for any future fun projects--it seems like a scraper is an obvious use case.

  For anyone interested in trying this, you need to set the ENV var `CONTRIBUTORS_TOKEN` with your github API token, then create a README.md with the following sections: ### [{project}](https://github.com/{owner}/{project}/) <!-- contributors-{project} starts --> contirbutors will be auto-populated here <!-- contributors-{project} ends --> with the {owner} and {project} replaced, then after running authors.py the README will get auto-populated. Very very cool.
