GitHub Activity Summary failures

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that the reason we've not had the github activity summaries in a while isn't because nothing has been happening, but rather the emails were failing to send. I'm trying to investigate this, but I suspect it may be something on the W3C side blocking us again, even though we've communicated with the W3C about this sender and why it exists.

The emails come from activitybot@socialcg.org <mailto:activitybot@socialcg.org> and are a summary of the events of that week on our various GitHub repos (the two official W3C ones, and the many taskforce ones on the swicg organisation). We're using the same tool that the W3C itself uses for sending activity emails, but unfortunately we can't use their instance as it's pretty locked down.

The repo is here: https://github.com/swicg/activity-summary-bot/

I'm not sure what next steps are for resolving this, but I am in contact with the email provider (mailgun) to try to gather the logs for the recent failures (though they seem to have very poor log retention).

Yours,
Emelia
