Contributor Privacy Settings

[Keyrxng]

The GitHub API fails us when our contributor' have their privacy settings restricted which may affect more than just the search API in question.

Rather than create an error handler in all octokit catch blocks:

• create a method that makes a request that would hit this error as seen in the original context
• call it on entry and if it fails throw
• post a description of the error and a link to where to change it update settings if it's a privacy settings error

If a contributor does not want to change their settings then we either:

A) Do not allow them to contribute
B) Apply the lowest default limits and assumptions in all scenarios

I think b makes sense as long as we clearly explain to them how to fix the problem

I think this can be closed because we implemented a fallback for such scenario.
