Description
Description
osgithub was originally intended to provide a generic shared interface for interacting with the GitHub API. But in reality, we've had very different use cases each time we've wanted to get something from GitHub. Consequently, we've only used the osgithub library in two places - Reports and Actions Registry. Maintaining osgithub as a separate library now creates overhead that may not be justified by its limited reuse.
We should investigate and migrate the required osgithub functionality directly into the two applications that currently depend on it, and then archive the osgithub repository.

How will we know when it's done?
- Identify all current consumers of
osgithub. - Move the required code into
Reports. - Move the required code into
Actions Registry. - Remove
osgithubas a dependency from both applications. - Archive
osgithubrepository on GitHub - Archive
osgithubpackage on PyPI

Research direction
Start by identifying the current osgithub consumers in Reports and Actions Registry and documenting which functionality each application requires. Move the required code into both applications, remove the dependency, then verify the repositories and PyPI package can be archived as specified by the checklist.
