Very cool stuff. Can we see it in action anywhere?

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the suggestion! Now after each request the script will wait
1-5 seconds before making the next request.
Regards,

Hi everyone!
Hi Ben,
For the past few days I've been working on Bug Safari, which is a
Python
script that gets statistics for Plasma bugs and sends a report to the
#plasma room on Matrix, which is one of the dot points for KDE's
Automation goal.
I've now got the script uploaded to Invent at
https://invent.kde.org/bbonacci/bug-safari for anyone to look
over, make
improvements or implement.
Thanks for this, I have just had a quick look over the code and it
overall looks pretty reasonable, and also follows best practice of
setting it's own user agent.
One small suggestion would be to add some small sleeps in to ensure
that the server endpoints don't get hammered by your requests.
While the script by itself is fairly innocent, if similar scripts were
added for a series of other channels and they all ran at the same
time, this could result in a rush on the server that could make it
inaccessible to normal users (or at the very least impact responsiveness).
Adding some sleeps (ideally for a random number of seconds as people
tend to pick the same cron times to run stuff on) will ensure this
doesn't become an issue.
Regards,
Ben
Cheers,
Ben
