Connector Improvement: Git Hub Connector improvements
CompletedCustom Properties
GitHub has created the ability now to have properties that can be more properly enforced not having to rely on topics on a repository which an admin can change at any time. Thomson Reuters is switching over to use custom properties and not having this data within the data lake leaves us with a gap on our repositories metadata/properties.
Contributors
Pulling in the repository contributors is necessary as today only teams are identified for access to a repository but does not account for individual users direct access to a repository. This is a deficiency and leads to gaps in identifying access to a repository. Having a table that has Repository Contributors would shore up that gap and show all access for a repository.

Hi,
We support custom properties now for Github connector. For repository contributors we've decided to hold off on supporting for now. This is because there is a 500 contributor limit in the API response. We will re-evaluate support if this limitation is removed or if we find an alternative method.
Thanks,
Frank

With the addition of the contributors is a great addition to understanding access to repositories. Is there anything in the roadmap to additionally pull in custom properties and that would help complete the broader "properties" on a repository?
