In order to recognize community contributors, our tools often use the OSPO REST service to attempt to match a GitHub login to an MS email or alias. This service isn't designed for broad use, and we would get rate limited by repeated API calls.
The What's New tool caused the most problems. Happily, we have many community members that contribute to our docs. The tool would call the REST service for each PR.
In this PR, those tools that will make multiple REST calls now make a single call to retrieve the entire list of MS employees with registered GitHub aliases. That list is only stored in memory while the app runs. Then, each call to determine if a GitHub alias matches an employee uses that in memory cache.
Other tools (seQuester) still make the call for a single ID. Those tools operate on a single issue, and that packet is smaller.
