Description

With #2630 we periodically scan new repositories and create a PR when a repo is missing.

However, the scan step does not set GITHUB_TOKEN, so repository enumeration is anonymous and only sees public repositories.

Maybe we can use the read only github app that we use for the dry run to discover also private repositories?
