Description

We currently have two 'clients' that query the github repos and the .sling-module.xml descriptors:

• the jenkins job creation DSL script
• the repo manifest creation script

We've also discussed in SLING-7161 the possibility of listing all repositories on the website.

To minimize the effort of talking to github in each location and reduce the number of calls to Github ( for rate limiting purposes ) we should generate a JSON/XML file that contains all information about the git repos. This file is in turns read by various "clients" that need the information.
