Research direction

Start by locating the code that scans GitHub repositories and identify how it obtains and uses the repository list. Read the Infra data at https://gitbox.apache.org/repositories.json and trace the current commit-activity path. Done means the implementation uses that source, no longer requires a GitHub token for this lookup, and does not treat apache/comdev-reporter as a repository whose activity is shown.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Prefer using Infra data - https://gitbox.apache.org/repositories.json - to scanning GitHub.

This simplifies the code - no need for a GH token.
The GH list also contains at least one misleading repo:
https://github.com/apache/comdev-reporter
This means that its commit activity is not shown.
