Could you do this in stages instead of all 2000+ files at once? i.e. could just do the special teams first? and a few plugins? |

Description
This pull request introduces a one-off backfill tool that transfers GitHub permissions into a YAML file. This tool is designed to prepare for #3998, which focuses on managing GitHub teams' permissions as code. To ensure the data remains current, I will update this backfill tool just before both this PR and #3998 are ready to merge.
Discussion Points:
Auto-generation of YAML Files for Missing GitHub Teams:
During the backfill process, I have identified approximately 500 teams currently only on GitHub (You can view the detailed list here). Should I auto-generate YAML files for all these teams to avoid discrepancies and prevent overwriting GitHub team settings when #3998 goes live?
Auto-generation of YAML Files for Missing GitHub
SpecialTeams:Currently, our
teams/directory contains YAML files for only 5 out of about 50 special teams(A special team is a team injenkinscithat has more than 1 repo permission) identified on GitHub. Should I create YAML files for the remaining teams to ensure we can manage other permissions in YAML format in the future?Please share any thoughts or suggestions you have. I really appreciate your time and help.
