Peribolos does not create initial PR, or takes a very long time.

[almereyda]

Describe the bug

After installing Peribolos to @allmende, the .github repository is created, but no initial PR towards it is filed:

• https://github.com/allmende/.github/pulls

To Reproduce

1. Install Peribolos from https://github.com/apps/peribolos/installations/select_target to an organisation or your account.
2. See it create the .github repository
3. No PR with initial configuration will be filed.

Expected behavior

Peribolos initiates a PR against the repository it just created, such as in:

• Add initial peribolos configuration b4mad/.github#1

Additional context

Logs from https://argocd.operate-first.cloud/applications/peribolos?resource=&node=%2FPod%2Fop1st-peribolos%2Fperibolos-controller-7ccf9bfc-pbdhp%2F0&tab=logs show how the repository is created, and then silence.

There are further POST events by GitHub-Hookshot after those, ignoring GET queries to /metrics and /healthz, for push, check_suite and check_run events, but still no PR appears.

This resolved with patience.

• Add initial peribolos configuration allmende/.github#1
