This would allow us to better understand non-code contributions, especially for government folks who are starting to use github issues for discussions, re: https://github.com/canada-ca/welcome

Some interactions are more likely to incl non-code contribs which are neglected from contributor list, so particularly interested in those.

:star: Includes non-technical contribs

Best candidates:

https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/events/ https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/timeline/#events https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/comments/#list-comments-on-an-issue

A first pass might be enough to just know who's participating in the same repo space, but more fine-grained might be to see who's interacting in issues themselves, as that's truly here contributors cross-paths.
