FYI, I did exactly this five years ago: https://ghe.clickhouse.tech/#github-roulette

It is done with a single SQL query, and the data is continuously updated: https://play.clickhouse.com/play?user=play#U0VMRUNUIHJlcG9fb...

Thanks for sharing, this is something I also wanted to do but never took the time to implement.

I could use it in a project of mine listing new releases published on GitHub [1] as an additional way to discover repos.
