decide on language

• some of the filters would need to talk to the github API, so probably something from this list: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/libraries would be convenient
• Python is probably convenient for combining with cffconvert validator
• node would be good (but maybe not necesssary per se) if we want to run this in a scheduled GitHub Action workflow, for example if we're interested in collecting statistics over time.

Does it need to be one language? If necessary, we can dump to a JSON file and bridge the language gap, right?

We decided to use Node.js JavaScript with octokit library for making requests to the GitHub API
