Zulip

Scrape github for time of last contribution to zulip

When cleaning up old digital ocean droplets, it is useful to check the last time someone pushed stuff to their fork of zulip. The information is available at links like https://github.com/rishig?tab=repositorieswhere rishig is a github username.

This task is to write a python script that takes a list of github usernames as its arguments, and prints out the "last updated" time for everyone's zulip repo.

Relevant python libraries are requests and beautifulsoup (beautiful soup 4).

The script can go in the zulip/zulip-gci repository, in scripts/. Submit as a pull request to the zulip/zulip-gci repository.
