Description

The coveralls.io site every now and then fails with 5xx errors.

Support for retries, e.g. using retries and retry_wait parameters for the app would really be helpful!

Research direction

Start by locating the action's request to coveralls.io and how app parameters are configured. Confirm how 5xx failures are handled, then define done as configurable retries and retry_wait causing failed requests to be retried before the action exits.
