a2c708c256 maintainers/scripts: improve github handle checker
Now also finds name-clashes for github handles who never contributed to nixpkgs
before. Also deals with too many request errors.

aa47bac04f Convert maintainer file entries to attributes, add github handles
Based on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/34842, the
nix-instantiate output was pretty-printed and the validity of the github handles
manually verified, by automatically checking whether the user handles exist on
github (https://github.com/userhandle, status 200 or 404).
Each handle under 5 characters was manually checked (because the collision
probability with non-maintainer accounts is high), each missing entry was
manually researched.

The script used is kept in `maintainers/scripts` as an example of how to work
with the mainainers list through nix’ JSON interface.
