Try to avoid hitting secondary rate limit when opening issues

GitHub employs a secondary rate limit for actions that can trigger
notifications, such as opening a new issue. To avoid hitting this
limit, they recommend [1] waiting at least one second between each
request.

This commit attempts to comply with this guidance by adding a
one-second sleep prior to each POST request that opens an issue.
