Description

@daniel-grund

Describe the bug
Running a scorecard check for contributors against https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped consumes the full github API ratelimit of 5000 without returning a response.

Reproduction steps
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run the command line scorecard check with ./scorecard --repo=github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped --checks Contributors
  2. Observe your rate limit on the github API using https://api.github.com/rate_limit
  3. The rate limit is being used until nothing is left. The command line just shows "Starting [Contributors]"

Expected behavior
The contributors check shall be performed on the mentioned repository

Additional context
https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped has a pretty huge CODEOWNERS file which might be part of the issue.
