Watch GitHub actions until they finish (read..) - Late initialization, reconsidered, 14 Feb

I maintain a few Python packages, including:
- Coverage.py: The code coverage tool for Python
- Cog: Small bits of Python computation for static files
- Dinghy: A GitHub activity digest tool
- Scriv: Changelog management tool
- Aptus: Mandelbrot fractal viewer
