I had a couple questions, as this feature is awesome!
How long does it take to get the response vs external bots pulling the data? What mechanisms does GitHub have in place to stop bots who monitor repo changes? I ask, as I have been there and it is super scary how fast someone/bot pulls repo data changes, as in minutes, and the repo we had back then was not popular.
As long as search results can be sorted by date, anyone can see updates pretty much instantly if they monitor the search results. The repos don't have to be popular for that. Bots can just check such a feed every few seconds for example.
