 ## Dataset Creation script
 - Data was collected using Python requests library by GitHub REST API:
 - url = "https://api.github.com/repos/huggingface/datasets/issues/comments?per_page=100&page={page}"
 - headers = {"Authorization": f"token {your_token}"}
 - response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
 - Comments were flattened into a tabular format with 39 columns. Timestamps were parsed, and nested fields (e.g., user, reactions) were expanded.
