Description

The Readme stream assumes that we are fetching an .md file but it is not always the case.

Eg. README.rst for flake8-docstrings which leads to a 404 file not found in the tap.

{'type': 'timer', 'metric': 'http_request_duration', 'value': 0.164145, 'tags': {'endpoint': '/projects/{project_id}/repository/files/README%2Emd/raw', 'http_status_code': 404, 'status': 'failed', 'url': '/api/v4/projects/140322/repository/files/README.md/raw', 'context': {'project_id': 140322, 'project_path': 'pycqa/flake8-docstrings'}}}

We could:

  1. use the readme_url available in the project object
  2. try different exetnsion, probably .md and .rst would cover 99.9% of cases

But at the very least we should add error handling around missing readmes :)

Research direction

Start at the Readme stream and trace how the GitLab project object is used to fetch README.md. Check the available readme_url and missing-file response handling; done means repositories using README.rst or another supported format can be read without a 404 failure, while absent READMEs are handled safely.
