Get metrics from GitHub

The below example gets the amount of issues from GitHub.

For the GitHub api v3 please set "no_escape": true so that the filter string does not get escaped and is used as it is in the GET call against GitHub.

The used filter itself is using a not existing github account for the assignee field. So the result should always be 0.
