GitHub push webhooks limit with translations

[nijel]

Details

• Read the Docs project URL: https://app.readthedocs.org/projects/weblate-hu/
• Build URL (if applicable): N/A
• Read the Docs username (if applicable): https://readthedocs.org/profiles/nijel/

Expected Result

I wanted to add another translation of our documentation and let RTD configure webhook at GitHub.

• In case there is a specific error coming from GitHub, RTD should display it instead of assuming that it has to be an issue with permissions.
• Is there some recommended approach to work around GitHub limits on number of webhooks?

Actual Result

The setup failed:

I was confident that the permissions were there (it worked before), so I went to GitHub and I got a different error:

So the issue is that we have just reached 20 languages and thus have 20 webhooks just from readthedocs.org.

I've just fixed this for this particular translation by removing webhook we no longer use. But still, we're going to hit this again once another language is translated.

We are migration our GitHub OAuth app to a GitHub App and we won't use the same webhook approach, so this may not be an issue anymore. @stsewd do you know how we are handling monorepo with multiple translations with the new GitHub App?

[stsewd]

This shouldn't be a problem with the new GitHub App, we basically listen to one repo, and then our backend applies that same operation to all projects linked to that repo.

Is there a beta where we could participate?

@nijel we are still discussing on how to expose a beta to users, you can subscribe to this issue for updates when a beta is ready #12174.
