As of a couple of weeks ago, GitHub seems to have serious issues with reliability, where the issues sometimes fail to be listed. Those issues revealed that this here Action failed to inspect the returned HTTP status (which was previously unnecessary because it was always 200, but this now apparently is no longer as reliable). Let's inspect the `status` attribute to find out, and complain loudly instead of opening duplicate issues. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

Dangit. This did not fix the issue. There was another duplicate issue, namely git-for-windows/git#5887, probably opened by this workflow job. And that did use v0.0.13 of Maybe the order in which the issues are now reported is no longer sorted by time? In any case, I think it is safe to say that this Action needs to output more:

We have recently seen a flurry of bogus, duplicate issues, for Cygwin v3.6.5 and for OpenSSH v10.2.
The most likely/plausible cause is that GitHub is experiencing availability issues that it did not experience before, where listing existing issues fails with a HTTP status of 500. Which revealed that this here Action lazily did not even catch those (because it did not need to).
Let's catch those problems and avoid opening issues in those instances.
