6 years ago I will make this request on demand, once for each app running on a server. And I will handle errors by just not making the data available to the client which will have to tolerate that circumstance by leaving the package column blank.
On start-up the plugin makes a request to github

There appears to be no error handling, which might be causing the problem seen in fedwiki/wiki#112
As an aside, this will be performed for each wiki in a farm as it starts - this sort of admin plugin would probably be better served with a per farm component, rather than per wiki.
