It would be nice if we can notified when howfairis is used. Probably it makes sense to think about it when we have a GH action or GH bot. There should also be an opt-out option for the user.

when we have a GitHub action

Be aware we already have https://github.com/fair-software/badge

Also note that making a GitHub bot is not foreseen at the moment. Remember our discussion here https://github.com/NLeSC/generalization/issues/98#issuecomment-732872939:

[Potential tasks are to ] "Automate visiting repositories that are mentioned in the RSD, and make PRs for adding the fair-software badge, which will help with compliance for #98 (Improve reporting of best practices compliance in our projects), which will likely be a statistic that will be included in our reporting starting soonish. @fdiblen suggested a bot, I'm not sure if that works for our purposes because users need to add the bot on their repos first, right?

Could be achieved by hosting badge images ourselves (see #60) and mining the access log of the server.
