… transient GitHub API errors Add a retryRoundTripper that wraps the HTTP transport to automatically retry GitHub API requests on transient errors (429, 502, 503, 504) and secondary rate limits (403 + Retry-After). Retry behaviour is configurable via retry_on_failure with defaults tuned for GitHub: 1s initial interval, 30s max interval, 10 max retries. Uses configretry.BackOffConfig to align with other receivers in the project. Fixes open-telemetry#43388

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nit: There are a few places that list which error codes are retryable, it'd be nice if the ordering was consistent, and probably in numerical order (unless there's a good reason not to)
